Mediterranean foliage and snowy alpine peaks. It is the third largest Italian lake. It is made up of three branches, joined in a charming central
lake, but separated by different styles and cultures; the Colico's branch
is savage and pure; the Lecco’s branch is a natural jewel and the Como’s
one is refined and elegant.
The conference

a neo-classical building of early 19th century located in the heart of the city
next to the cathedral.
Social
events will include the welcome cocktail in the beautiful park of
Villa Olmo and the banquet in the historical
halls of Villa Erba.
