Baveno

Famous health- thermal resort, Baveno had its guests, artists and politicians, as well as Umberto Giordano, who set in music "Fedora". This little town has old origins. The historical centre is composed of buildings, dating back to X century, is one of the most important holiday resort appreciated by International tourism. The settlement of men, on the south shore of the lake, was due to the possibility of quarrying pink and red granite, from the surrounding mountains, above all Camoscio.

The parish church, with its romanesque bell tower, was built in XI century with stones of granite of Baveno. On the facade, there are Roman tombstones, found in that place. Near there is the eight-sided baptistery of paleochristian origin and remade in the period of Renaissance.

In Baveno there are many aristocratic villas of IX century. Entering the town, you can note "Villa Branca" built in 1884 in Tudor style, and "Villa Fedora" , where Umberto Giordano composed the homonymous opera. One of the resort of Baveno, is Feriolo, a small village with an important airway communication. From here the streets lead towards Lago d'Orta and Val d'Ossola, hugging the lake, and Verbania, Canton Ticino. After Feriolo the lake shore settles because of the wide mouth of the river Toce, one of the major affluent of Lago Maggiore. In the plain, there are many camp site facilities.
