Description
VARENNA-SIDE FROM VILLA MONASTERO was captured during a day trip to Varenna from Bellagio, Lake Como area in Italy. Villa Monastero was originally a Cistercian convent, at the end of the 12th century, which now lies beneath the modern building. After different ownerships through the centuries, the Milanese De Marchi family held ownership, donated the villa to the public in 1940 when it became a museum. In the 1970s, Villa Monastero was taken over by the National Research Council, and managed by the Province of Como. In 1996 management passed to the Province of Lecco. Finally, in 2009 the entire complex was acquired by the Province of Lecco.
