There are three large lakes in the region north of Milano: Lago Maggiore, Lago di Garda and Lago di Como, as well as several smaller ones. Como is perhaps the most famous. It was a destination of vacationers even in ancient Roman times (Pliny had a villa here) and it has been visited by many poets and artists. Mussolini was captured and executed in a town just down the road from here.
Some views of Lago di Lugano. The lake straddles the Italian/Swiss border. It is so beautiful one wonders if it is real.
