Como Lake with limousine, car hire with driver
It
rises at the southern extremity of the west
part of the Lario lake, in a small basin
that was created during the tertiary age
from the storage of alluvium material. Como
is considered a province town, known all
over the world for its beauty and the silk
working. Como Lake is the deepest lake in
Italy and one of the deepest in Europe. The
weather is meek and its position attracts
many tourists at any month of the year. In
Como you will visit Villa Saporiti (La
Rotonda), Palazzo Volpi, that was built
between 1610 and 1630 by the bishop Vulpiano
Volpi, Torre di Porta Vittoria or porta
Torre, the most ancient and imposing of the
Medieval towers that Como still can be proud
of. It was put up on 1192 together with
other works that had a defensive function.
You will visit il Broletto, building with a
Gothic façade and white, grey and red
marbles, whose construction begun on 1396
over the ancient Romanesque basilica of
Santa Maria Maggiore. The two lateral doors
are generally considered the masterpiece of
the brothers Tommaso and Jacopo Rodari,
although an intervention of Bramante is
supposed for the elegant Medieval door. From
Como it will be possible to take a public
navigation boat to look over from the lake
itself the other Villas that surround the
lake shore, or to reach with the limousine
the town of Cernobbio, a splendid city only
5 minutes away from Como, seat of the famous
hotel Villa D'Este where the important
Italian and worldwide meeting take place.
