On Sunday 22 October, Stanislava Pavlova from California entered Villa Monastero and received the prize reserved for the 250,000° visitor.

Anna Ranzi, curator of Villa Monastero House Museum, gave the winner a unique surprise: an overnight stay voucher at Villa Monastero and a custom silk foulard with a picture of Villa Monastero.

“A very important goal for Villa Monastero that has reached record numbers: it is among the most visited cultural places on Lake Como this year. The overnight stay voucher is a nice opportunity for the winner to return to Lake Como and, at the same time, a way to express gratitude to all who chose Villa Monastero this year. Visitors contribute to enhancing our splendid compendium” – commented the President of the Province of Lecco Alessandra Hofmann and the Provincial councillor delegated to Culture and Cultural Heritage, Tourism, Villa Monastero Fiorenza Albani.
