Excerpt from Extracts From a Journal During a Tour in Italy in 1829 and 1830: Not Published Crossed the Simplon, and entered Italy. The road from Domo Dossola to Baveno lies through a valley encircled by mountains; and here we embarked for the Isola Bella, on the Lago Maggiore. This lake is fifteen leagues long, and two leagues and a half across in the widest part; and the Ticino enters it at the northern, and leaves it at Cesto Calende, the southern extremity; and the Tresa connects it with the Lago di Lugano. In the widest part of the lake are the Borromean Islands. The Isola Bella, covered with shrubs, vases, and statues, looks as if it were raised by enchantment. Eight tiers of arches or piles support this fairy land, a monument of the wealth of Vitellianus Borromeus, who, in 1671, transformed it from a barren rock, and even the earth was brought from the opposite shores. On the north side, ten terraces, one above the other, rise to the height of a hundred feet, overspread with the luxuriant foliage of the orange tree, pomegranate, cypress, laurel, jessamine, and myrtle; the whole surmounted by a colossal unicorn, the crest of the family.
