Chapel, Isola Madre, Isole Borromee, Lake Maggiore
Borromeo family chapel, built 1858 in Neo Gothic style by Defendente Vannini, on Isola Madre, the largest of the Isole Borromee or Borromean Islands, on Lake Maggiore, Piedmont, Italy. Formerly known as Isola di San Vittore and Isola Maggiore, the island houses the Palazzo Borromeo, built 16th century by the Borromeo family and designed by Pellegrino Pellegrini or Il Tibaldi. The 18th century English style gardens, the Giardini Botanici dell'Isola Madre, were designed by Filippo Cagnola, then altered in the 19th century, with greenhouses added in 1826.
