On Lake Maggiore in northern Italy there's an island called Isola Bella which translates to English as 'beautiful island'. This island certainly is beautiful but it was actually named after Isabella Borromeo, the wife of the man who created this little piece of paradise.

Italian Lakes: Lago Maggiore
Throughout the month of April I was busy participating in the A to Z Challenge. Now I'm returning to
my regular posts about my trip to Italy last summer. My last post at the end of
March was about two resort towns on the Italian Riviera, Portofino and Santa
Margherita Ligure. From there we travelled north to Lake Maggiore– not as
glamourous as nearby Lake Como where George Clooney owns a villa but lovely all the same.
