There are some gardens that seem born of imagination rather than geography. Gardens that defy their setting, their time, even their materials. And on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy, there’s a garden like that. Isola Bella. The Beautiful Island. It wasn’t always beautiful. Originally it was just a lump of rock. A fishing islet, bleak and stony, known as Isola Inferiore.
