Step into the lush tranquillity of northern Italy’s Lago Maggiore, where Isola Bella floats like a dream on the water — ornate, manicured, and steeped in Baroque grandeur. This richly coloured postcard from the early 1990s presents four captivating vignettes: a floral-framed lake view, the theatrical façade of the Borromeo Palace garden, a serene moment with white peacocks on the lawns, and a sweeping aerial shot of the island in full architectural bloom.

Isola Bella, part of the Borromean Islands, has been shaped since the 17th century into a lavish aristocratic retreat. With its tiered gardens, elaborate fountains, and dramatic statuary, the island remains one of Italy’s finest expressions of art and landscape design. This card was postmarked 13 July 1992, bearing Swiss “Helvetia” stamps and a handwritten message referencing Venice, the Alps, and scenic lake views — a true snapshot of European summer travel in the early ’90s. Published by Rivetta Souvenirs, Verbania, and printed in Italy.

This piece, with light edge wear, carries the spirit of alpine–Mediterranean elegance and handwritten nostalgia. An evocative keepsake for those drawn to Italian travel heritage, garden architecture, or the romance of lakeside Europe.
