'Landscape & Local Story'

 

Orta San Giulio (view point from Piazza Motta 📍), on the shores of Lake Orta in northern Italy’s Piedmont region, is a village of cobbled streets, pastel-colored houses, and timeless charm. Overlooked by the Sacro Monte di Orta, a UNESCO World Heritage site with chapels dedicated to St. Francis, the town has long been a destination for writers, poets, and travelers seeking inspiration. Its heart is Piazza Motta, opening onto the lake with views of boats crossing the shimmering waters to the tiny island at its center. The lakeside promenade and hillside paths reveal an atmosphere both elegant and deeply spiritual, where the pace of life seems gently slowed by the beauty of the setting.

'...At the center of the lake lies Isola di San Giulio, a small but enchanting island steeped in history and legend. According to tradition, St. Julius arrived here in the 4th century, taming dragons and serpents before founding a church on the site where the Romanesque Basilica of San Giulio now stands. Today, the island is home to a Benedictine monastery, whose nuns live in quiet seclusion, and a “Way of Silence and Meditation” path that circles the narrow lanes. Together, Orta San Giulio and its island form one of Italy’s most intimate treasures, a place where myth, history, and natural beauty meet in perfect harmony...'
