[ View on Google Map | map of Piedmont ]Lake Maggiore is famous throughout the world for the immense parks of the 16th and 17th century villas. Villa Taranto, in Verbania, has the largest botanic garden in Europe, with thousands of rare plants from all over the world, a few of them seen nowhere else in Europe. Or there is the Borromeo building on Isola Bella, a splendid example of an Italian-type garden, with 10 terraces gradually descending to the lake. And there is the zoological park at Villa Pallavicino, in Stresa, or the Alpine Garden at Gignese.
