In the Tulip\u2019s Maze you can marvel at over 65 varieties; relating to colours and forms among these stands out the coveted black tulip \u201cQueen of night\u201d and the imposing \u201cBig chief\u201d, the corolla of which reaches an almost 10 centimetre large diameter. The huge Dahlias Labyrinth (500 Sm) of Villa Taranto will host, from July to October, a special exhibition dedicated to the dahlia: there fans will find more than 350 different flower species. Info:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.villataranto.it\/\">www.villataranto.it<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On March 16 the gardens in Borromeo\u2019s dominions on\u00a0Lake Maggiore,\u00a0Isola Madre\u00a0and\u00a0Isola Bella, will reopen after having been closed since last October, a time during which plants were guaranteed their necessary rest and maintenance work was carried out. The gardens will explode with the colours of thousands of tulip bulbs the Borromeo\u2019s gardeners planted last autumn to bring the Renaissance park of Isola Bella and the romantic one of Isola Madre to life in an endless array of different shades. Along with tulips and ancient flower varieties, other key features will be azaleas and rhododendron bushes, which are ubiquitous on Isola Madre in numerous different varieties. Indeed, having found their ideal habitat here, they cover every space as far as the eye can see. Meanwhile, big lilac bushes and first fragrant wisteria blossoms will fill the air with wonderful scents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as\u00a0\u00a0amellias there are numerous different rose varieties that, despite being present in all three gardens belonging to the Borromeo Family, reign supreme on Isola Bella. With more than 2.000 paintings art on both islands waits for you! The famous \u201cQuadreria Borromeo\u201d or General Berthier\u2019s art gallery, housed in the Princes\u2019 Villa on Isola Bella, presents 130 Lombard Baroque styled paintings, excellent copies of Raffaello, Correggio, Tiziano, Guido Reni\u2019s works of art, a special exhibition of Bergognone, Boltraffio and Giampietrino\u2019s, many of which are authentic masterpieces, and others based on floral theme; baroque decorations in the Throne Room and the Queens\u2019 Room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Palace o f Isola Bella wil l be open to the public everyday un ti l October 20 (9-17.30) and exceptionally from October 21 to November 3 (reduced opening time) .

It extends over a 20 hectare area with tree-lined paths (7 km total length), wonderful flower-beds and a botanical garden. Animals are the principal attraction there: you will see more than 40 species of mammalians and exotic birds (lamas, kangaroos, zebras, flamingos, etc.) which live wild in a totally natural environment.
