The original Villa Diodati

The original Villa Diodati (the house of literary fame, not the writers group this site is about) is a manor in Cologny close to Lake Geneva. It is most famous for having been the summer residence of Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, John Polidori and others in 1816, where the basis for the classic horror stories Frankenstein and The Vampyre was laid.

Art: Diodati, the residence of Lord Byron, 1833

Artist: William Purser (ca. 1790–ca. 1852)
Engraver: Edward Finden (1791–1857)
