On the Borromeo islands there’s this old collection of paintings – named after General Berthier – that will soon open its doors to the public.
In fact from the end of June onwards visitors will have the opportunity to see and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Borromeo palace where the European aristocracy used to meet and merrily enjoy the pleasures of life.

The palace gallery features 130 paintings which have been hung on the walls according to their original position and distribution.

The collection also features original paintings by Borgognone, Boltraffio and Sampietrino and many other 17th century artists such as Crespi, Discepoli and Nuvoloni; all great Masters from Lombardy.
Besides this famous gallery you can also get a look at the amazing throne room, a real baroque masterpiece that I’m sure will take your breath away.
