GIARDINI DI VILLA MELZI
Beautiful lakeside gardens offering romantic walks in Bellagio.
The villa was built between 1808 and 1815 for Duke Francesco Melzi d'Eril, vice-president of the Cisalpine Republic and ally of Napoleon. You can visit the chapel and the small museum, installed in the orangery. Archaeological pieces and Napoleonic souvenirs are on display. In the chapel, decorated with frescoes in monochrome, lie several members of the former aristocratic family. Above all, one can walk with delight through the magnificent park, the first example of an English garden on the shores of Lake Como, which was rented by Stendhal.
