Изола Белла и Изола Мадре. «Неизвестная Италия» (05)

In this program, we'll travel to the islands of Isola Bella and Isola Madre. Isola Bella on Lake Maggiore is one of the most popular travel destinations in Italy. Almost its entire territory is occupied by a palace and surrounding park belonging to the influential Borromeo family. We'll learn the beautiful story of a count who loved his wife so much that he bought the island, named it after her, created a stunning garden and palace there, and gifted them to his wife! We'll see magnificent gardens and residences shaped by love! The French writer Gustave Flaubert wrote of Isola Madre that it was the most sensual island he had ever seen. It's hard to disagree with the famous writer: the stunning nature, the purest air, the unique location, and the rich cultural and historical heritage have captivated visitors throughout time! Isola Madre is part of the Borromean Islands archipelago on Lake Maggiore. Its dimensions are 330 by 220 meters. Historical sources indicate that a church existed on the island as early as the 9th century, a memory that remains to this day. Olives were grown here, and their oil was used for religious ceremonies. But more on that later. For now, let's visit the island's main attraction – the Palazzo Borromeo. Interesting details and insights can be found in the program "Unknown Italy" with Anna Fedorova.
