Lake Orta Museums
The museums around Lake Orta, the most beautiful lake in Italy, are the authentic testimony to the industrious life of its inhabitants over the centuries. Wood and copper craftsmen, brass musical instruments and much more. The Lake D’Orta has always distinguished itself for the quality of its hospitality and also its hoteliers, restaurateurs and cooks have a museum dedicated to them.
Located on a small peninsula that is born on the western shores of Lake Orta – in front of the Island of San Giulio – and overlooked by its shoulders by steep granite heights on which stands the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso. For its scenic, naturalistic and naturalistic surroundings, Pella is today an ideal tourist destination for those who love to be in direct contact with nature.

Home-made pastas, with careful cooking, measured and tasty. Traditional meat dishes from selected cuts and a cellar where both wines and beers have an equal share. An inn of yore with attention for both raw materials and detail. It is an excellent meeting place for the young staying out until late as well as the colourful characters of this fanciful little town lapped by the waters of Lake Orta.

The present day Basilica goes back to the 12th Century and was designed on the model used for the cathedral in Novara. Quite apart from its very fine frescoes, do not miss the extremely rare and precious pulpit carved in green marble, supported by 4 much older columns. The undeniable charm and fascination of the island are not its sole attributes, it is just a little mysterious too, thanks to the presence of the Mater Ecclesiae Benedictine convent where there are now about 80 nuns living when in 1973 there were only 6. They live in total silence.

The island shows traces of settlements as far back as the Neolithic era but it was abandoned during Roman times. It was also thought to be a pre-Christian cult center, a very good reason for which the two Greek brothers, Giulio and Giuliano, arrived on Lake Orta at the end of the 4th century. They were Evangelists who sought to build churches in order to spread the Christian faith but separated for a while as Giuliano built their 99th Church in nearby Gozzano and Gulio went on to Orta to seek a site for their 100th Church. According to legend, the Island was at that time infested with serpents and dragons, obvious symbols for Evil or pagan practices that foundation of the Church would wipe out. The local fishermen were naturally afraid of the monsters and refused to take Giulio to the Island. He was determined […]
