Lake Como Travel Guide
Lake Como Local History
The Comacine Masters were the shining pride of the whole old Como diocese and were mentioned as far back as the 7th Century. They were master builders and workers, members of craft guilds and stone cutters, who used scaffoldings and other instruments and worked mainly around Lake Como
These guilds inspired a building, pictorial and decorative tradition that lasted over 1000 years and in some areas the tradition stood out, as in the Lake Como sculpture and architecture. Some of the masters dispersed to places all over Europe and their works are still displayed in those areas. Today the Lake Como area is steeped in the traditions of decorative art, natural beauty and a must see on a visit to Italy.

They served beautiful home made pastas: delicious!

Lake Como Shopping
Apart from being the most unique source of souvenirs, outdoor markets are some of the most interesting places in Italy and most towns and villages hold them on a regular basis. The Lake Como region is no different and items can range from a collection of the ancient to the modern.
Some in this region offer the chance to touch (and buy if you can) a 500-year-old book, to enjoying a market in a beautifully restored castle, complete with moats. You may also find the odd violin, made by a local, Antonio Stradivori.
The Lake's markets offer the opportunity to browse and pick up beautiful glass-blown objects, wood, leather and ceramics, most as beautiful as the settings it was made in.
