About

Wouldn’t it be nice to be born into the Italian bourgeoisie in the 1800s? To sit around and write novels and stare wistfully over the beautiful shores of Lake Lugano? What a life! Get a taste of Antonio Fogazzaro’s daily grind with a guided visit around the beloved writer’s summer home, Villa Fogazzaro Roi.

This time capsule of 19th-century elegance preserves Fogazzaro’s life, and is akin to wandering around inside his masterpiece, The Little World of the Past – which is rather fitting!
