Colonno

Between Argegno and Punta Balbianello, perched in the lake on the slopes of Mount ridge, it is Colonno, one of the most characteristic and picturesque villages of Lario.

This area is especially known for its calm waters that are generally smooth as oil, hence it follows the local denomination -Zoca de l'Oil-, and its cultivation of -erbe odorose- that the peddlers sold together fish and fresh dairy turning the province with the basket on his back.

In one of the many squares in the country, near the lake, there is a building, the seventeenth-century You will probably, that has preserved, even on subsequent tampering, some strong characters distinction and which locals call -Pretura-.
