Searching for Italy: Palazzo Borromeo at Isola Bella

Our trip to Italy is inspired by the Stanley Tucci series, Searching for Italy, in which Stanley (I think he would want me to call him that) visits the twenty regions of Italy in search of the best foods. 

We stay in two regions during our three-week trip to Italy, Piedmont and Puglia. Piedmont is in the northern part of Italy, and Puglia is along the coast in the southern part of Italy.

We visit Isola Bella during our time in the northern part of Italy. Isola Bella is an island in Lago Maggiore.

We ride in a boat to the island.




The palace is amazing. Construction on the palace began in 1632.









What a library!



One floor of the palazzo was heavily decorated in shells.


The grounds outside were beautiful, too.
