Villa Crespi is a dream come true on the shores of the romantic lake of Orta. Cristoforo Benigno Crespi, pioneer of the cotton industry, during his long business trips in the Middle East was fascinated by the charm of Baghdad and in 1879 he built this magnificent Moorish-style Villa surrounded by a park overlooking Lake Orta. The name of Villa Crespi was originally Villa Pia, dedicated by Mr. Crespi to his wife, Pia Travelli Crespi. The construction of the Villa was entrusted to the architect Angelo Colla, to whom Benigno Crespi left full freedom of inspiration. Crespi's patronage gave the architect the opportunity to best express his passion for the care of the decorative detail and to exalt at best the oriental references sought by Benigno Crespi.
