As it is one of the most pictoresque and romantic place in Italy, Alessandro Manzoni adapted here the novel “I Promessi Sposi”. Placed in a valley surrounded by woody mountains, the Como Lake offers a various landscape. Along the rivershores you can find woods, rocks and imposing and pictoresque town by the sea and beautiful villas and gardens. There you could find enchanting City Halls and little Chapels close to the lake in the wonderful towns of Como, Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio.
All these vilages are on the Como Lake and reflect its bright water.
