Between 1447 and 1450, they supported the Sforza family in their struggle for the succession of the Visconti. For centuries, they exercised Milanese suzerainty over Lago Maggiore, where they still own significant castles today. The Borromeo family had been Counts of Arona since 1445, the head of the family Marchese di Angera since 1623, and Principe di Angera since 1916.   <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;

In 1632, Count Vitaliano Borromeo began the construction of the monumental Baroque palace and the majestically terraced gardens, which still document the pomp of an era today. Visitors are overwhelmed by the splendor of the tapestries, paintings, furniture, and statues that adorn the palace. At the end of the visit, one has access to the gardens and can fully enjoy a charming stroll among exotic plants.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>A historical note<\/strong>: On April 11, 1935, the &#8220;Stresa Peace Conference&#8221; was convened. This location is situated in front of Isola Bella, but the 4-day conference was then held in the Borromean Palace on Isola Bella. The participants were: Mussolini, Italy&#8217;s dictator; Mac Donald, Prime Minister of England; and Laval, Prime Minister of France. The goal was to counteract Hitler&#8217;s expansionism to ensure Austria&#8217;s independence. Unfortunately, the political events that soon followed showed that this peace conference ultimately had no success.    <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/austria-guides.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/insel-bella.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;insel-bella&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;.mfp-title {||\tdisplay:none;||}&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-19px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Olga had many interesting details to share<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/austria-guides.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/iosla-bella.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;iosla-bella&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;.mfp-title {||\tdisplay:none;||}&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-19px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>We listened attentively to her accounts<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||12px|||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off%22%22&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Discover Beatuty Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Noto Sans||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#0a0a0a&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-4px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;15px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;top&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;300ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impressions of Isola Bella&#8230; the photos speak for themselves!
