The family bankers Amsick from Hamburg bought several properties in the enchanting corner of San Giovanni. The project involved demolition of some houses, silk factories, and three villas overlooking a lake. For this reason, in San Giovanni there is a famous saying (the Amsick arrived with their dogs and destroyed half of San Giovanni). The result was a beautiful villa that can be viewed from the lake by boat or for the more adventurous: kayak rental.
