Che cosa c’è nei paraggi
I luoghi raccontati più vicini, con la distanza in linea d’aria da qui.
100 m
Como War Memorial
Lake Como usually gets the soft-focus treatment: water, mountains, palaces. Then, on Via Giancarlo Puecher, a war memorial interrupts the postcard and changes the mood.
200 m
Novocomum
The scaffolding comes down, and Como realizes the conservative building approved on paper has become something radically avant-garde. The city has been architecturally catfished.
200 m
Tempio Voltiano
Lake Como fills the backdrop; on the shore, a Neoclassical temple gives full ceremonial treatment to a physicist and his battery. No saint, no emperor—just Como-born Alessandro Volta.
250 m
Casa Giuliani-Frigerio
Drawings and detailed instructions are being sent from military training to Como. Giuseppe Terragni is serving in the Italian army, yet the building in front of you is still taking shape — architecture conducted at a distance.
300 m
Monument to the European Resistance
You’re on Lungolago Mafalda di Savoia, firmly in Como—then the monument’s four-word Italian title suddenly expands the map to Europe.
300 m
Bruno Pessina Workers’ Houses and Factory Chimney
The chimney gives the game away. This stretch of Borgo Vico now blends into the city, but the brick survivor above you belonged to a silk works that employed as many as 160 people in the 1930s.
