city life from my house's windows - Como

since 7th july 1973

Como is a very nice city located on a lake (the deeper of Italy) named Lario.
Como is only 50 km from Milan and about 40 minutes by car from Malpensa airport.
Moreover, Como is very closed to Switzerland border (you can reach it in ten minutes by car), and it will take only 40 minutes to Lugano.
I love Como, probably because it's my birthplace, but looking at Como objectively anyone will admit that Como is one of the most beautiful cities in north of Italy.

Yes. Como is beautiful. I stayed in Bellagio two years ago and drove around. Of course, Italy is one of the most beautiful countries in this world. Basta. Stay put there !
