Villa del Balbianello


The Villa del Balbianello Villa del Balbianello, situated in the Italian municipality of Lenno, is a villa with a view of Lake Como. Constructed in 1787, it stands where a monastery once existed. As the 1900s drew to a close, the National Trust of Italy acquired ownership of the villa. Several motion pictures have showcased the villa, notably Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.

This villa appeared as the Lake Retreat, the location where Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker sought refuge while Obi-Wan Kenobi investigated those who tried to assassinate Amidala. Furthermore, it served as the venue for the secret wedding of Skywalker and Amidala.
