In the Middle Ages, the robber baron brothers Mazzardi tyrannized the entire lake region until they kidnapped the daughters of Podesta from Cannobio and thus overstepped the mark. Filippo Visconti destroyed its fortifications in 1414 and had the robber barons executed. The larger island is to be developed for tourism, which can be seen from the renovation work with the large yellow construction crane.

In 1519 Ludovico Borromeo settled on the islets in front of Cannero and Cannobio. Exactly five centuries later the works for the restoration of the Castles of Cannero restarted.

Three years is the time needed to transform them into a museum that will tell the story of the castle through the centuries, thanks to the finds found during the archaeological excavation campaigns and with the help of appropriate information technologies. isoleborromee.it/castelli-di-cannero
