Isola Bella will host the final stop of the Nitto ATP Finals Trophy Tour from 7 to 10 November 2026 on Lake Maggiore, bringing the tournament trophy to the island near Stresa. The presentation will take place inside Palazzo Borromeo, while the palace and gardens will remain open until 22 November 2026.
Isola Bella receives the ATP trophy from 7 to 10 November
The trophy tour will reach Isola Bella for its final stage before the 2026 Nitto ATP Finals begin in Turin on 15 November. The trophy will be displayed in Palazzo Borromeo, giving visitors to the island a connection with the international tennis event without leaving the Borromean Gulf.
The event is the first concrete initiative of a five-year collaboration between Kaleon, the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation and the Nitto ATP Finals. The organiser describes Kaleon as the Cultural Heritage Destination Experiences Partner of the federation. The Trophy Tour programme places the island appearance from 7 to 10 November 2026.
Palazzo Borromeo and its gardens extend the visit
The tennis programme is tied directly to the island's principal cultural spaces. Palazzo Borromeo and the Italian Baroque gardens will stay accessible until 22 November 2026, extending the 2026 season beyond its previously published closing date.
The site began its transformation from a rocky island in the seventeenth century under the Borromeo family. Vitaliano VI Borromeo is regarded by the custodian as the principal creator of the palace and garden. The terraces, statues, obelisks and fountains form a Baroque composition above Lake Maggiore, with the highest terrace reaching 37 metres above the lake. The custodian's history of the estate records the development of the palace and garden.
That setting gives the November programme a specific character: the trophy is not being shown at a separate sports venue, but inside the historic residence that defines the island's visitor experience. Stresa is one of the main gateways to the Borromean Islands, so the event links the town's lake access with a temporary display in the palace.
