Lake Como, which is also called Lario, is one of most evocative alpine lakes, and is the only one of the Italian Lake District to be entirely situated in Lombardy.

With its characteristic shape of Y turned upside down, Lake Como is composed by three branches called respectively Colico (north), Como (south-west) and Lecco (south-east). It is this unique shape that has helped in creating that landscape that inspired numerous artists and which is remembered by Alessandro Manzoni in the famous opening chapter of “The Betrothed”, the most renowned and widely read novel of the Italian language.
