Lenno: Hotel San Giorgio - Lake Como
Tucked along the western shore of Lake Como, Lenno is a place whose character is shaped by the sheltered waters of its bay and the steep Lombard foothills. Hotel San Giorgio belongs to Lenno’s lakeside hospitality, in a settlement now part of the municipality of Tremezzina. Lake Como is a deep glacial lake with a distinctive three-armed outline, long linking towns around its shores by road and boat. Just south of Lenno, the wooded Lavedo peninsula holds Villa del Balbianello, an 18th-century villa now cared for by the Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano. Its terraced gardens and lakeside setting have made the peninsula one of the western shore’s best-known cultural stops.

Lenno extends along Lake Como’s western shore in Lombardy, a setting that has long connected the settlement to the lake’s boat routes and neighbouring communities. It is now part of the municipality of Tremezzina, formed in 2014 through the merger of Lenno with three nearby communes. On the wooded Lavedo promontory stands Villa del Balbianello, an 18th-century villa with terraced gardens overlooking the water. Above the nearby hamlet of Ossuccio, the Sacro Monte di Ossuccio forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site of nine sacred mountains in Lombardy and Piedmont.

Shaped by the Po Valley and the southern Alps, Lombardy developed into Italy’s leading economic region. Its territory runs from high Alpine valleys to the broad Po plain, where the Adda, Oglio and Ticino are major waterways. Milan is its metropolitan centre, marked by the Gothic Duomo and a long role in finance, design and publishing. Farther east, Bergamo is divided between its walled Città Alta and modern lower city; nearby Lake Iseo lies between Lombardy’s pre-Alpine ridges. Rice fields around Pavia, vineyards in Franciacorta and lake towns give the region a markedly varied identity.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
