Another little teaser clip from our upcoming feature film, ‘In search for La Dolce Vita’
Villa Monastero was originally a Cistercian convent dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen founded before 1200 AD.
It was then purchased by a noble family in 1567, who developed the magnificent botanical gardens made up of over 1000 species including citrus, cypresses, pine trees and agaves. It stretches over more than a kilometre along the shores of Lake Como and features ancient statues and bas-reliefs.
