Lezzeno, with its many villages, located on the

shores of the Lake of Como and on the slopes

of the mountains, is the first country that

you meet going down from Bellagio to Como.

From a tombstone of I-II century AD, walled in

the bell tower of the church, we know that the

area was already inhabited in Roman times.
 
Of particular interest are the Church of
SS. Quirico and Giuditta (sixteenth century),
the Oratory of Our Lady of the Strain

(fifteenth century), and the Silva Palace.
 
To visit, by boat, the cave of the Bulberi,
famous for the sunlight color effects, and the

Grosgalli stones, suggestive cliffs on the lake.
 
Lezzeno is also an important artisan center
for the production of wire and wire mesh,
and home to shipyards.
