Lake Como · 45.9° N, 9.3° E
A lake that splits in two
and that is exactly why you explore it.
At Spartivento Point the lake opens into three branches. The site starts from there: towns, points of interest and itineraries organized around how the territory actually works, not how a menu lines them up.
