This peculiarity along with a mild climate and harmoniously-combined scenic and architectural beauties attract thousands of tourists every year, making this town one of the most popular Italian tourist destinations since the second half of the 1900 s. Numerous events enlivening the city s bubbly cultural and musical life include Stresa Festival (formerly Settimane Musicali di Stresa e del Lago Maggiore).
The lakeside promenade is ideal for relaxing strolls and is flanked by historic homes and luxurious hotels in Liberty style, all surrounded by nature. Popular, thriving, lively meeting places in Stresa include the square at the landing stage and Piazza Marconi.
Stresa in history The first reference to Stresa appears on a parchment from 998. It refers to the town under the name of Strixia, a term of probable Lombard origin meaning little strip of land. In the 15th century, the little village was mostly inhabited by fishermen and was a fief under the Visconti family and later acquired by the Borromeo family. Starting in the 1900s, the little town was chosen as a stop on the Grand Tour by several intellectuals including Lord Byron, Stendhal and Charles Dickens.
