Casa Borromeo

We visited Lake Magiorre after leaving Milan, and saw the Borromeo home on a small beautiful island. An obviously wealthy family, one son left the family money behind to dedicate his life to the Catholic Church. St. Charles Borromeo has a suburb of Chicago named for him today, and my Church is located in St. Charles. The tabletop in the upper image is a mosaic with the tiniest pieces I have ever seen. The lower image is of the homes on the hillside across a stretch of the lake. The entire area of the lake is one beautiful place.
