It is also known by the name of Lario, from the Latin Larius as the Romans called it (Lacus Larius). Nowadays little used, but we find it in the name of some coastal locations (Abbadia Lariana, Mandello del Lario, Gera Lario and others) and is used to identify that piece of territory between the two branches of the lake that forms a triangle with the vertices respectively in Bellagio, Como and Lecco: the Larian triangle.
Lake Como offers us a succession of glimpses that remind us of the Norwegian fjords: dug between the chains of the Orobie Prealps, which make it fascinating and particular, especially on the eastern side. The western side instead offers us spectacular villas renowned for their gardens and for the history and art they contain.
Lake Como has also reflected important national and international figures: Ugo Foscolo, Stendhal, Byron, Giuseppe Verdi, Vincenzo Bellini, Gioachino Rossini, even Napoleone and Winston Churchill.
Obviously we cannot forget Alessandro Manzoni who made him the protagonist of the first Italian novel: The Betrothed.
