Monumento
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.
Perché vale la deviazione
A memorial on Como’s lakefront whose dedication deliberately reaches beyond the city—and beyond Italy—to the European Resistance.
The Monument to the European Resistance is a hidden gem on Como's lakefront, honoring the broader European Resistance movement. Its dedication extends beyond local and national boundaries, making it a significant historical site.

Che cosa c’è nei paraggi
I luoghi raccontati più vicini, con la distanza in linea d’aria da qui.
150 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
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.
250 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.
300 m
Nobel Room at the Carducci Institute
One photograph, four names that could headline a history of modern physics: Marconi, Planck, Bohr, and Fermi. In 1927, they all turned up at this building in Como.
300 m
Canottieri Lario Clubhouse
Antonietta Sinigaglia commemorated her champion-rower son Giuseppe not with a statue, but with a clubhouse built on Como’s reclaimed shore—reportedly in just seven months.
300 m
Monument to Alessandro Volta
One marble scientist, one brutally short inscription, and an entire square loses its old name. Como pulled off a remarkably efficient civic rebrand.
