Villa Fogazzaro Roi: Guided Tour

La Velarca: Entry Ticket

Cima

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!

Visit La Velarca, designed and built between 1959 and 1961 by the BBPR studio. Commissioned by Emilio and Fiammetta Norsa, this floating home is a notable work of architecture and design. Its form and layout reflect the BBPR studio's signature style, focusing on environmental integration, local context, and meticulous detailing.

La Velarca combines modern aesthetics with historical elements. The structure was added to the hull of a historic 19-meter gondola called "Corriera Tremezzina," which has been crossing Lake Como since 1911, carrying goods and passengers. Explore how this unique home connects past and present on the scenic lake.
