Sent by Andy, a postcrosser who lives around Lake Maggiore as shown on the postcard.
This is from Wikipedia : Lake Maggiore (in Italian: Lago Maggiore IPA: /'lago ma'ddʒjore/ or Verbano IPA: /ver'bano/, in Latin: Lacus Verbanus) is a large lake located on the south side of the Alps. It is the second largest of Italy and largest of southern Switzerland. Lake Maggiore is the most westerly of the three great prealpine lakes of Italy, it extends for about 70 km between Locarno and Arona.
The climate is mild in both summer and winter, producing Mediterranean vegetation, with beautiful gardens growing rare and exotic plants. Well-known gardens include those of the Isola Madre, Isola Bella and the Isole di Brissago, that of the Villa Taranto in Verbania, and the Alpinia botanical garden above Stresa.
