Lezzeno
The last village on the way from Como to Bellagio is Lezzeno. With its many wards scattered along the shore of the lake and at the foot of the mountains, Lezzeno is also a renowned residential center. After the locality of Villa, on the last stretch of road before Bellagio, one 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. It is worth taking a boat trip to see the Grotta dei Bulberi or the Grotta Azzurra, which are caves that are famous for the coloured effects sunlight has on them. Lezzeno is also an important centre for craftsmanship. Iron wire and metal nets are produced here and it also has shipyards. 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 AD. |
