This photograph, courtesy of Wikipedia, shows an original bottle of Eau de Cologne; the paper uses a French translation of Giovanni Farina's name.
The valle Vigezzo area is an easy 30 to 40 minute drive from Stresa. One takes the motorway for Domodossola, heading towards the Simplon Pass. The area can also be seen and enjoyed as part of the Lago Maggiore Express train tour, which makes several stops in towns of the valley, such as Santa Maria Maggiore, Druogno, Malesco, and Re, before entering the Swiss Alps.
