Second Grotto, with shell theme and marble Neoclassical bust of Achilles or Alexander the Great by Giovan Battista Monti, in the Apartment of Grottoes, in the Palazzo Borromeo, built 1632-1948 by the Borromeo family, on Isola Bella, in the Isole Borromee or Borromean Islands, on Lake Maggiore, Piedmont, Italy. The grottoes form a summer apartment for Vitaliano VI Borromeo, built 1689-1769 by Filippo Cagnola and Giulio Galliori. The walls and vaults of the 6 rooms are encrusted with stones, tufa, lava, coal, mica and marble, encased in stucco decorations of shells, nymphs, sirens, dolphins, fish and turtles.
