From Bellagio there is a stunning view over the 3 parts of the lake, the lower and upper part of Lago di Como on the left, and Lago di Lecco as the lower part is called on the right.
Earlier, Como was famous for its many small silk manufacturers. Later, these many manufacturers were merged into larger companies, which can still today be found in the town. The industrial areas are south of the city, away from the lake, so fortunately there is still a charming lakefront with a beautiful promenade.
