lake Como

The Como Province lies on the western shore of Lake Como for all its length covering a surface of about 1288 square km. So far it may be considered a "small Province".

But the small extension must not deceive, because in very few other Italian places the visitor may find a so surprising and rich choice of different environments, landscapes and settlements.

In few miles you may find the mountains and the lake, the wild Alps valleys and the industrial area of Brianza, the urban area of Como and villages of few houses, the fauna oasis in the north and the ski areas in the south.

Como province adds to all this an original and fascinating artistic asset in which three main trends may easily outlined.
The first one, more garish, is formed by the Lake Como Villas, unique in the world both for their architectural and landscape value and the numerous treasures that they contain.
The second, more hidden and cultured, is formed by the incredible concentration in this territory of Romanesque churches, that testify a brilliant and flourishing Middle–Age.

The third asset, more evocative and intriguing, is formed by the many military fortresses of different ages, with their own asset of anecdotes and legends, that testify a turbulent and adventurous past.

Three artistic assets that propose this land for an artistic discover absolutely not banal at all, but stimulating, easily accessible and of significant cultural thickness.
