Lenno

It's an important town of the western side of the Lario, situated between the cape of Lavedo and the valley of Porlezza, at the beginnings of the coastal area called - Tremezzina- that comprises all the towns until the Maiolica.

Hidden in a deep creek, it offers a protected and particular aspect of the lake. A lot fascinating is the tour that it can be done coasting by boat the shores of the lake, rounding the promontory on which Villa Balbianello rises, until reaching the Comacina Island. From Lenno a panoramic walk, even if demanding, goes up to the Mount of Tremezzo (1700 m.).

Not too far away from the town there is the hamlet of Giulino, where in the morning of the 28 April 1945,Benito Mussolini and his lover Claretta Petacci were shoot by the colonel Valerio in Via XXIV Maggio. The room where they lived their last night in the house of Giacomo De Maria, in Via Riale 4, has been kept as it was at the time.
