Those who have lived in Verbania, on Lake Maggiore, for a long time or a season or even just a summer afternoon have certainly visited the garden of Villa Taranto.
The notoriety it enjoys throughout the world does not dispense the more hurried from spending a couple of hours there.
The present appearance of the Villa Taranto garden is not a spontaneous fruit, but the result, shaped over time, of a laborious elaboration undertaken by Captain Mc Eacharn in 1931. Entering the gardens of Villa Taranto is like taking a journey through distant lands.
