Nell'autunno del 1993 si verificarono forti temporali nella zona del Lago Maggiore, che portarono a massicce inondazioni in tutti i paesi sulle sue sponde e soprattutto sulle isole del lago, come l'Isola Pescatori, il 14 ottobre 1993.

Accanto alla scalinata del Bar Miralago (vista lago) è stato posto un cippo con il seguente testo. L'iscrizione del cartello in pietra dice semplicemente:

Lago alto

14 - 10 - 1993
