The Vanderbilts’ love of Italy and fine art
Italy was a special place for George Vanderbilt, founder of Biltmore. He and his wife, Edith, spent six weeks near Stresa in the Lake District of Italy in spring of 1898. Having visited Milan in 1880, he was eager to share his love of Italy and its great works of art.
The Biltmore estate was the venue of choice where to display his collection of fine art. Nowadays this iconic estate is open to public. Horse riding, food and wine tasting are just some of the many experiences to enjoy at Biltmore.
