Using a variety of multimedia techniques they have designed many different interactions with the history of this house. The ideas of the architect and the position of the owner in society come together to recreate the later part of the 19th century and his family into the 20th century.

So much more than what you might expect from a museum. Strongly recommend and an hour of humour time.

We toured this villa with a licensed guide. I wasn't expecting that much, but it was one of my favorite stops on this trip! Bernasconi lead an amazing life of exploration. He participated in 21 expectations and was an avid collector with an extremely sharp eye. His collections are varied and amazing, and presented (displayed) brilliantly. Not stuffy or boring, just fascinating!

Every window in this home has a beautiful view of the lake except for one window in the map room. An amazing piece of architecture and real estate ...that was home to an incredible man of beautiful taste.

We just happened upon the villa as we were walking around Cernobbio. While interesting to look at from the outside, it was a bit ornate for our taste. It is just a five minute walk or so from the ferry. We did not have time to go inside. I would not come to Cernobbio just to see this villa, but if you happen to be there anyway, it is worth a look.

a real villa with a view of the lake that is uneblieveable . a definite do while you are in chernobbia
