Explore the gardens of Balbianello Villa, famous for its movie appearances

Villa del Balbianello was built in 1785 at the request of Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini on the site of an old Franciscan monastery at the tip of the Lavedo Peninsula. It later became a residence for intellectuals and artists. Explorer Guido Monzino purchased and restored it, donating it to the FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano) in 1988.
The villa complex includes residential buildings, a church, an elegant portico along the lake, and panoramic gardens with breathtaking views. Visit the gardens via a VIP entrance path at this location, also known for its use as a filming site in 'Star Wars: Episode II' and 'Casino Royale'.
