Why go

Villa Mainona, built between 1670 and 1672 on the main road at Tremezzo, houses the museum the Comune di Tremezzina devotes to the landscape of the Lario.

It holds historic prints and photographs of the lake's villages and villas. On two touch-screen tables, old georeferenced maps and images are set against the land as it is today, and short clips of films shot on the lake are shown with the places where their sets stood.

  • The historic prints and photographs show the lake as it was, and the interactive tables compare it with the present-day landscape.
  • It also shows the films shot on the lake and where their sets stood. Villa Carlotta is less than a kilometre away.

Highlights

  • Old maps, georeferenced, on the touch-screen tables
  • Clips of the films shot on the lake

Getting there

  • By boat to Tremezzo, or by bus along the Regina road: the villa stands on it.
