One of the most fascinating historical icons of Lake Maggiore, suspended between myth and memory, is about to reopen its doors to the public. Indeed, next June 28 marks the official opening of the Castles of Cannero, ancient fortifications dating back to the 15th century located on three rocky islets off the town of Cannobio, in the heart ofPiedmont’s Upper Verbano region.

After years of complex restoration, the site, which has belonged to the Borromeo family since the 15th century, is now accessible again thanks to an intervention promoted and coordinated by Terre Borromeo, which has made it a new cultural and museum center, ready to tell centuries of history in a naturalistic setting of rare beauty. A journey through ancient walls and courtyards where the lake meets memory.
