1865 Italy , Lake Como

Lake Como (Italian: Lago di Como) is a glacial lake in Lombardy, Italy. It covers an area of 146 square kilometers, making it the third largest lake in Italy, after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore.

The lake is over 400 meters (1,320 feet) deep, making it one of the deepest lakes in Europe, with more than 200 meters (656 feet) below sea level.

The villages of Varenna, Lerna, Bellagio, Menaggio, Limonta, and Tremezzo comprise the central region of Lake Como, considered the most symbolic and exclusive area of the lake, encompassing only the villages overlooking the Bellagio peninsula.

Lerna is one of the most beautiful villages along the entire length of Lake Como, situated in its center. Known for its exclusivity, it is a popular destination for European nobility and internationally renowned figures, who can enjoy complete privacy here. Thanks to its central location, Lerna offers a breathtaking and iconic view towards Bellagio. The narrow cobblestone streets, colorful houses, and mountain trails reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci's work contribute to a unique and captivating atmosphere.

Lake Como's popularity stems primarily from the aristocrats and wealthy who have frequented it since Roman times. It is now a major tourist attraction, boasting numerous artistic and cultural treasures.

The lake's shores are renowned for their many villas and palaces, such as Villa Olmo and Villa Carlotta. Many celebrities currently own or have previously owned homes on the shores of Lake Como, including Madonna, George Clooney, Ronaldinho, Sylvester Stallone, Matthew Bellamy, Gianni Versace, and Ben Spies. Lake Como is widely considered one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy.

The lake's Latin name is Larrea, but this is rarely used; it is usually referred to as Lake Como, as seen in guidebooks. The name derives from the city of Como, known to the Romans as Comum.
