Bellano

lago como Resuming our course, always along this shore we reach Bellano. Up stream from the inhabited area, the suggestive ravine formed by the Pioverna is visitable. The boat, crossing the lake once again, reaches the western shore. The northern features of the bank offers a landscape no longer characterized by the charm of the villas' gardens. The settlement history is more diverse. Here the villages were born first much in higher areas or halfway down the hillside, and only much later did they build along the bank. After the first landing at the hamlet of Acquaserie you pass in front of Santa Maria di Rezzonico, a small city dominated by the remains of the Casrtello della Torre, a little more than 200 meters of altitude, of which remain only the foundations of the wall and a 14th century crenellated Tower. The next landing place is out by the other side of the Lake at Pianello and immediately thereafter at Dongo. In Pianello you find a 19th century mill that today hosts the Collection of the Larian Boat, with more than a hundred boats, implements and accessories of the '700 and later.
