Designed by a master of Italian Rationalism, Giuseppe Terragni, this massive, 30 metres-high tower was inspired by some sketches by Futurist painter Antonio Sant'Elia, born in Como and killed during World War I. The monument was inaugurated in 1933, on November 4th.

The most important religious building of Como is also the third in Lombardia district for dimension, after the Duomo in Milan and the Charteuse in Pavia. The start of the construction is more or less the same for the three building, i.e. the end of 14th century. The cathedral took the place of the pristine church of Santa Maria Maggiore, which had become too small for the community needs. The construction lasted more than 300 years, thus the visible styles are Gothic (facade), Renaissance (sides and apses), Baroque (dome).

Built between 1898 and 1901 under the direction of architects Angelo Savoldi and Giovan Battista Borsani, this majestic villa initially belonged to the Erba family, chemists from Milan. Carla, the daughter of Luigi, first owner of Villa Erba, married duke Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone; their son, the well known film director Luchino Visconti, also spent some time in this mansion and worked here at the editing of his movie "Ludwig".

This village, which could even have been founded in the 6th century B.C. by Gauls, has been an exclusive leisure location since the Roman age: Virgilius and Plinius visited the site, the latter even owning a summer residence in the town. Many gorgeous villas have been built in Bellagio and its surroundings throughout the centuries, for example Vill Serbelloni (15th century), now a property of the Rockefeller Foundation.
