About Villa San Remigio
Villa San Remigio is a Lombard baroque style building. It stands at the highest point of the Castagnola promontory in Pallanza, within a large park, bordered to the south by the Romanesque church of San Remigio, and to the north by the gardens of Villa Taranto.
Built at the beginning of the 20th century, the Villa owes its existence to two lovers determined to create their “dream garden”: the Marquis Silvio della Valle di Casanova, a Neapolitan poet and musician, and his wife, the Irish painter Sophia Browne. The couple were inspired by the great Italian villas of the Renaissance and Baroque periods to create a place where art and natural beauty might coexist in perfect harmony.
