Cultural visits can become just a bit boring for young kids... so why don't we turn our children into the real protagonists? Thanks to this short guidebook they will lead their parents and grandparents to discover some of the most beautiful and popular locations on Lake Maggiore, following the voices of original and unusual characters.  Villa and gardens are my own creation (I gave free rein to my imagination...) I just meant to show all my family's strength and to do that I'd have gone to any length!     We were the counts then, we're princes today, we kept the foreign invaders away, we were the lords of these lands and these woods, we had no equals in these neighbourhoods...  If you had fun come again to these lands and bring with you also some of your friends; I won't keep you longer, you'll have things to do, but when you come back we'll be waiting for you!
