From the tip of the small wooded peninsula of Lavedo, stretching sheer above the waters of the center of Lake Como, the Villa del Balbianello elegantly overlooks a wide panorama that makes it one of the most scenic residences of the Lario.
A vocation recovered in modern times by Guido Monzino, entrepreneur, collector and passionate traveler, who in 1974 made the Villa a refuge where to preserve with order and taste the memories of an adventurous life that led him, the first Italian, to the summit of Everest.
By his will, in 1988 the Foundation took charge of the rigorous management of the Villa, preserving the spirit that lives again also in the amazing garden that the FAI maintains with the same maniacal perfection.
