geography
The Isola di San Paolo is a good 500 meters south of the larger island of Monte Isola . It is around 120 meters long and up to 60 meters wide from east to west, the area is about 0.56 hectares (5600 square meters ).
history
The island is privately owned by the Beretta family, who own one of the largest armories in Italy, the Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta . The villa on the island was rebuilt by the Italian architect Egidio Dabbeni (1873–1964), who also realized the Villa Beretta in the nearby town of Gardone Val Trompia , the seat of the family.
In the 11th century, the island belonged to the Mozzi family, who donated it to the Benedictine Order of Cluny Abbey in 1091 ; after the island passed to the Fenaroli family from nearby Pilzone , who later sold it to the Order of the Friars Minor , the island was finally sold in private ownership around 1783.
