information on Lake Como
Lake Como, also called Lario, is a natural pre-Alpine Lombard lake of glacial origin falling in the territories belonging to the provinces of Como and Lecco, whose capitals are located in the two southern ends of the respective branches. It is made up of three different compartments, popularly defined as branches: the Como and Lecco basins, almost symmetrical, and the larger Colico basin located to the north. It is located about 50 km north of Milan.
It is the deepest lake in Italy[1], the one with the greatest perimeter extension and the third in terms of surface area and volume.
A popular refuge for the rich and aristocrats since Roman times, it still remains one of the privileged tourist destinations, so much so that in 2014 it was listed as the most beautiful lake in the world by the online newspaper “The Huffington Post“, for its microclimate and its environment dotted with prestigious villas and villages[2].
Lake Como, in addition to having been made famous by Alessandro Manzoni, who set the novel The Betrothed on the Lecco shore, includes a typical rowing boat which over time has become the very symbol of the lake: the Batell, known more informally as the Lucia in memory of Lucia Mondella’s escape from Lecco.
