Bellini in Moltrasio (Lake Como)
Vincenzo Bellini spent some summer months at his beloved Lake Como in the villa town of Moltrasio. There he composed “La straniera” and “La sonnambula” and met with his (married) mistress Giuditta Turina.
He lived as a guest in various villas in the exclusive Moltrasio. For example, the fantastic Villa Passalacqua (which enchanted Churchill and Napoleon Bonaparte) with its magnificent garden and view of the sea (bookable). The village honored the Bellini with a monument.
