With a mountain in the middle of the lake, Monte Isola is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. With a total area of 4.9 square miles Monte Isola ranks as the largest lake island not only in Italy, but also in South and Central Europe. The island has been known for the construction of wooden boats, the production of nets and fishing
While we were on the island we stopped by a shop known for the fishing nets that they make. He even demonstrated how the nets are woven by hand. Today they also make safety nets for a wide variety of applications.
For sixteen days in 2016, visitors to Lake Iseo were able to experience a beautiful work of art by walking on it. Shimmering yellow fabric, carried by a modular floating dock system, swayed with the movement of the waves as The Floating Piers rose just above the surface of the water.
“Like all our projects, The Floating Piers was absolutely free and open to the public,” said Christo. “There were no tickets, no openings, no reservations and no owners. The Floating Piers were an extension of the street and belonged to everyone.”
