The magic of Lake Orta: a romantic trip to Piedmont
The real navel of Lake Orta is the Island of San Giulio, an important ducal seat at the time of the Lombards and today quietly inhabited by cloistered nuns. From here there is a wonderful view of the surrounding shores, a real embrace of the whole territory, while inside the church important finds document the historical stratification of the island, taking us back to the days when San Giulio (died in 390 AD ), as legend has it, landed on the island chasing away dragons and founding his hundredth church. Exactly in front of the island, on the eastern shore of the lake, Orta appears, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, able to remain intact over the centuries and today to give the visitor a maze of alleys, historic buildings and lake views where breathe all the authenticity of the place.
