Terragni Family Home and Studio
Giuseppe Terragni grew up in this Via Indipendenza house and later opened an architectural practice on the ground floor with his brother Attilio. Work produced here helped turn Como into a center of Rationalism, while Attilio’s political role tied the studio to Fascist municipal power.
5
Piazza San Fedele
An intimate medieval square believed to occupy part of Roman Como’s forum. Later used as a grain market, it still keeps the porticoes and projecting timber houses of the old walled city.

Roman Theatre Remains at Via Vitani 13
Excavations inside an ordinary building revealed structural remains interpreted as part of Roman Como’s theatre. Its ancient seating structure was later buried, quarried and absorbed into the medieval city.
7
Alessandro Volta’s Birthplace (Palazzo Volta)
Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electric battery, was born and died in this ancestral house. A blocked arch in the medieval wall recalls the private passage he was allowed to open for direct access home.
8
Porta Torre
Como built this formidable gate tower after Milan demolished the city’s Roman defenses. Completed in 1192, it faced the road to Milan like a 40-metre declaration that Como was back in business.

Monument to Alessandro Volta
Pompeo Marchesi’s marble statue turned Alessandro Volta, inventor of the first electrical battery, into Como’s secular civic hero. Its remarkably brief dedication also helped give the entire square Volta’s name.
10
Piazza Cavour and the Exhibition That Rose Twice
In 1899, a vast temporary exhibition celebrating the battery stretched from Piazza Cavour into Como’s lakeside gardens. A short circuit destroyed it, but the city built a second exhibition in less than two months.
11
Hotel Metropole-Suisse Façade
Giuseppe Terragni’s first professional commission was a cautious remodeling of an older hotel façade, begun around the time he graduated. While publicly challenging academic architecture with Gruppo 7, he was still quietly negotiating with its classical vocabulary here.
12

An Art Nouveau hotel opened in 1902 as Como’s working waterfront was becoming a fashionable lakeside resort. Its original role also included a bathing establishment serving the neighboring Palace Hotel.
13
Gelateria Ceccato
The classic lakefront gelato stop of Como.
14
