Excursion

Full day 8 hrs. departure from Milan and return to Milan. The Province of Varese is characterised by being able to offer cultural and natural facets, authentic "precious assets to be lived". Countless are the artistic locations in which to discover a serene lakeside walk, a Romanic bell tower, a pastoral path or an original museum: from Castiglione Olona , a Renaissance corner unique to Lombardy, one can trace the Longobard vestiges of the Castrum Sibrium of Castelseprio or within the Caira Longobard Monastery. One can discover the precious frescoes in Gemonio's Romanic churches, in the Santa Caterina del Sasso hermitage, in the austere Borromeo Fortess in Angera, or in Casalzuigno's Villa Della Porta, in its green setting. The tourist centres are not only to be found among the lakes and the mountains. In Varese, the conceptual art and the XVIII century harmony merge in the Villa Menafoglio Litta in Biumo, the hosanna of faith echoes in the monumental complex of Arsago Seprio. Several cultural tourist itineraries are therefore proposed in order to continue promoting the emotion that gripped those illustrious travellers, from Samuel Butler to Guido Piovene, from Stendhal to Guttuso and Chiara, to name but a few, that filled and coloured pages and canvasses with our province's natural beauty
