Verbania is a city and
comune (commune) on the shore of
Lake Maggiore. It was created by the 1939 merger of the cities of Intra and Pallanza. Since 1992 it has been the capital of the
province of
Verbano-Cusio-Ossola. "Verbania
, a garden on the lake": this is the image of itself with which Verbania, in its marvellous natural setting on the Borromean Gulf, welcomes visitors.
