Villa del Balbianello

Villa Balbianello in Lenno is easily recognizable from Lake Como for its elegance: located on top of a terraced garden in which gorgeous paths embrace the visitors alternating statues with wisteria and large plane trees pruned "Candelabro". Residence and museum of Guido Monzino, a Milanese explorer of the 1950s whose conquest of Everest and the expedition to the South Pole are remembered.
