The Brissago Islands, seat of the Botanical Park of Canton Ticino, are located in the heart of Insubria, the ancient territory inhabited in the past by the Insubrians. This is a Celtic population that occupied the region between the Po river and the pre-alpine lakes starting from the 4th century BC. Immersed in the waters of the Verbano, which accumulate heat during the summer and return it in winter, protected by the Alps and rich in sunshine, the Brissago Islands enjoy a particularly mild climate, with few days of frost per year. About 1'700 species of plants from the Mediterranean, South Africa and the subtropical regions of Asia, the Americas and Oceania are cultivated in the garden.
