VEZIO

Villaggio situato su un promontorio al centro del lago di Como, all'inizio della sua esistenza, che si pone intorno al VI secolo avanti Cristo, era un insediamento ligure celtico, se non addirittura etrusco.

Il suo nome probabilmente deriva da "Vescia" piccolo centro del Lazio, paese d'origine di Vescinus, legionario romano al quale era stato affidato il comando e la direzione per la costruzione del "castrum" di Vezio.

A quel tempo i romani estesero il loro dominio su tutto il nord Italia per arginare le incursioni dei popoli del nord Europa .

Per questi motivi a Vezio venne eretta una fortificazione che facilitava il controllo delle sponde del lago sottostanti, sul cui promontorio nel frattempo era sorta Varenna.

In seguito con l'arrivo dei Longobardi venne edificata una torre alta venti metri e la leggenda dice che ospitò anche la regina Teodolinda.

La rocca segue le sorti di Varenna alla quale era stata unita da mura che come due lunghe braccia scendevano a difesa del borgo lacustre.

Nel 1244 quando per la prima volta Varenna fu distrutta dal feudo dei comaschi ai quali si era ribellata , la popolazione trovò rifugio nel maniero che per la sua posizione era inespugnabile: Varenna venne distrutta ma il castello resistette.

Vezio e Varenna videro trascorrere varie Signorie e le dominazioni dei francesi e degli spagnoli.

Nel 1778 il feudo di Varenna, che comprende anche Vezio, passò alla famiglia milanese Crivelli Serbelloni , che mantenne il possesso fino all'800.

Agli inizi del 900 fu acquistato dalla Famiglia Greppi .

VEZIO

The village of Vezio is perched on a rocky outcrop half-way up Lake Como. It began its existence, some time around the sixth century BC, as a Ligurian Celtic, possibly even Etruscan, settlement.

Its name probably comes from Vescia, a small town near Rome which was the birthplace of Vescianus, the Roman legionary who was tasked with building and commanding the castrum at Vezio.

At that time Rome was establishing its authority over the whole of the North of Italy in order to guard against incursions by the peoples of northern Europe.

It was in this historical context that a fort was built at Vezio, dominating the shores of the lake and the town of Varenna, which had sprung up on the promontory below.

Later on the Lombards came and built a 60-foot tower which, legend has it, was occupied by Queen Theodolinda.

The history of the castle is linked to that of the lake-side town of Varenna, to which it was joined by two long defensive curtain-walls.

In 1244, when for the first time Varenna rebelled against its feudal overlords in Como and was razed in retaliation, the population took refuge in the impregnable heights above. The town was destroyed, but the castle held out.

Vezio and Varenna passed through the hands of a succession of signorie, the French, and the Spanish.

In 1778 the fief of Varenna and Vezio became the property of the Milanese house of Crivelli Serbelloni, which held it until the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century it was acquired by the Greppi family.

VARENNA

Antico borgo lacustre, il primo insediamento, come a Vezio, doveva essere di origine ligure celtico e in seguito romano. Si hanno notizie documentarie a partire dal 493 d.c., anno della stesura della storia di Milano del Coiro.

Il 24 giugno 1169 gli abitanti dell'isola Comacina , a seguito della distruzione dell'isola da parte dei comaschi fedeli all'imperatore Barbarossa, fuggirono sulla sponda opposta del lago e trovarono accoglienza e rifugio a Varenna. Questo avvenimento è ricordato ancora oggi con una serie di rappresentazioni storiche e in costume, generalmente nel mese di Luglio.

Ad oggi Varenna è ricca di ville classiche e raffinate che caratterizzano il suo lungolago e che presentano anche giardini di notevole interesse botanico.

Nella sua piazza si può ammirare la Basilica di San Giorgio, testimonianza di stile romanico lombardo del XIV secolo.

Varenna is an ancient lake-side town; like Vezio, it is probably of Ligurian-Celtic origin and was later romanised. Written records of the town go back to 493 AD, the year in which Coiro's history of Milan appeared.

On 24 June 1169 the inhabitants of the island of Comacina fled to the other side of the lake. Their homes had been destroyed by the people of Como, who supported the Emperor Frederic Barbarossa, and they were welcomed and given shelter in Varenna. The event is still remembered and celebrated in a series of pageants, generally held in July.

Today Varenna boasts several fine villas in classical style which embellish the shore of the Lake and have gardens of considerable botanical interest.

Above the main square stands the Basilica dedicated to Saint George, a handsome example of fourteenth-century Lombard Romanesque architecture.

BELLAGIO

Bellagio si trova nella cuspide che separa i due rami del Lario. Oltre alle sue bellezze paesaggistiche è nota per le sue ville patrizie che hanno sempre esercitato un grande fascino su generazioni di artisti illustri , da Manzoni a Flaubert e da Liszt a Toscanini. Il suo Grand Hotel è stato meta del turismo internazionale dell'ottocento e tuttora viene utilizzato per importanti incontri di vertice di politica internazionale.

Bellagio is located on the promontory that separates the two lower arms of Lake Como. Besides its natural beauty, it is renowned for its noble villas, which have always fascinated successive generations of great artists, from Manzoni to Flaubert and from Liszt to Toscanini. Its Grand Hotel became a popular destination for travelers from all over the world in the nineteenth century, and still serves as a venue for important international summits.

L'accesso alla villa è a piedi a 5 minuti da un parcheggio, non si arriva direttamente con la macchina.

The villa is not on the road; it can be only be reached on foot, after a five-minute walk from the car-park.

Nella villa è vietato fumare. In giardino non buttare mozziconi per terra o tagliare i fiori. Usare l'acqua con parsimonia e fare attenzione agli oggetti che cadono in quanto i pavimenti sono delicatissimi.

Camminare senza scarpe in casa.

Non usare più di 2 elettrodomestici insieme.

Alla vostra partenza portare via l'immondizia.

Rimettere ogni oggetto dove è stato trovato.

Per il resto le regole sono quelle di riposarsi e godere della pace e della natura circostante, oltre agli scorci e alle bellezze che il lago offre.

The villa is a no-smoking area. Please do not leave cigarette ends in the garden or pick flowers.

Use water sparingly and be careful not to drop heavy objects as the floor tiles are easily chipped.

Do not wear shoes indoors.

Do not use more that two electrical appliances at the same time.

On leaving the villa, take away your rubbish.

Leave all furniture and other objects where you found them.

The other rules are simple: relax in the peace and the natural beauty that surrounds you, and enjoy the delights of the Lake.
