Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Lake Como (Lago di Como in Italian, also known as Lario; Lach de Comm in Insubric; Latin Larius Lacus) is a lake of glacial origin in Lombardy, Italy. It has an area of 146&_160;km², making it the third largest lake in Italy, after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. At over 400&_160;m (1320 ft) deep it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the bottom of the lake is more than 200&_160;metres (656&_160;ft) below sea-level.

The lake is shaped much like the character “Y”. The northern branch begins at the town of Colico, while the towns of Como and Lecco sit at the ends of the southwestern and southeastern branches respectively. The small towns of Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna are situated at the intersection of the three branches of the lake a triangular boat service operates between them.

Lake Como is fed in large part by the Adda River, which enters the lake near Colico and flows out at Lecco. This geological conformation makes the southwestern branch a dead end, and so Como, unlike Lecco, is often flooded.

The mountainous pre-alpine territory between the two southern arms of the lake—between Como, Bellagio and Lecco—is known as the Larian Triangle, or Triangolo lariano. The source of the river Lambro is here. At the centre of the triangle, the town of Canzo is the seat of the Comunità montana del Triangolo Lariano, an association of the 31 municipalities which represent the 71,000 inhabitants of the area.

12. Lake Como - A cure for ill humour
August 07, 2008

Lake Como has a particular effect on visitors, best summed up in words like relaxing, calming, re-invigorating and even inspiring. You could describe the process as stress busting, wellness creation, holistic therapy or just plain getting your head straight. But if we’re going to use jargon, I’d rather use the jargon of an earlier millennium. It seems to fit the place better. To be specific, I prefer to employ terminology used by the scholar Galen and say there are cures at Lake Como for all excesses of humours. That may well be a travesty of Galen’s work and achievements: but I think he’d ... (read more)
