7th April Visiting Orta San Giulio.
We walked by the lake and along the cobbled streets of the town and admired the extravagant decoration of the Villa Crespi built in 1879. It is now a hotel and restaurant.
Isola San Giulio lies a short distance from the shore. Legend has it that San Giulio was first to venture there in the 4th centuary by spreading his coat on the water and rowing there with his stick.
On the island, he defeated the dragon and eliminated the monstrous snakes.
