on Lake Como, end-to-end.

Silent medieval hamlet clinging to the western shore.

Why this area

Brienno is a hamlet of just over 330 residents on 9.1 km², 16-17 km north of Como along the SS340 Regina, between Carate Urio and Argegno. The village preserves its medieval fabric intact: stone houses falling sheer to the water, vaulted alleys and stairways dropping from the road to the lake.

The reference monument is the 11th-century parish church of Saints Nazaro and Celso with 16th-century stained glass, while the small lakeside Sant'Anna on the Via Regina has an 11th-century bell tower among the oldest on the Lario. Historic evidence includes La Turascia, a Byzantine tower converted into a 17th-century plague lazzaretto referenced by Manzoni, and the World War I Cadorna Line mining tunnels carved into the cliff.

  • 337 residents across 9.1 km²: one of Lake Como's lowest densities (37 inhab./km²)
  • Sant'Anna church with 11th-century bell tower, among the oldest on the lake
  • La Turascia: Byzantine tower converted into a plague lazzaretto
  • World War I Cadorna Line mining tunnels carved into the cliff above the village
