  • Review this attraction

  • Bellagio’s promontory has been prime real estate for millennia. Pliny the Younger had a villa named “Tragedy” here (it matched a “Comedy” home on the far shore), replaced by a castle in the Middle Ages, then a Stagna family villa in the 15th century. The last Stagna left it to his best friend Serbelloni in 1788. Serbelloni proceded to rebuild the villa as a summer residence to the main house down in the village (now the Villa Serbelloni hotel (see Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, Bellagio). In 1959, the summer home passed to the Rockefeller Foundation, and now visiting scholars can live and study here for short periods. It is not open to the public, but you can tour the gardens (see Villa Serbelloni, Lake Como).
