Lake Como, also known as Lario, is one of Italy's most evocative lakes, famous for its characteristic "Y" shape upside down and the pre-Alpine mountains that surround it. With a maximum depth of 425 meters, it holds the record for the deepest lake in Italy.

Beautiful road on the lake, from Nesso you take the famous climb towards Colma di Sormano, and there is also a very beautiful ravine.

The oratory of Santa Marta is a small but truly picturesque building. It stands out in the small cluster of houses for its façade completely frescoed by Costantino Lurati. The location is also worth it: overlooking the lake and the ferry port.
