Lezzeno is a nice village on the shores of Lake Como, on the way from Como to Bellagio( 6 kms. from Bellagio). With its many hamlets scattered along the shore of the Lake and at the foot of the mountains, Lezzeno is also a renowned residential centre. At the end of the village, on the last stretch of road before Bellagio, you can see the "Sassi Grosgalli". These are scenic cliffs that jut out over the lake and they are full of crevices caused by the erosion of the waters.
We know that the area was already inhabited in Roman times from a fragment of a tombstone slab in the wall of the parish bell tower with an inscription from the 1st-2nd century A.D. The church of S.Quirico and S.Giulitta was built in the 16th century but was subsequently renovated, Oratorio della Madonna dei Ceppi dates back to the 14th century. Antica Strada Regia: before the main road was built this path connected Como to Bellagio. Restored last year,the path is clean and well maintained with lots of signs to show the way. Wonderful views can be enjoyed from here.
