Visit La chiesa di San Giovanni on Isola Comacina on your trip to Lake Como Italy

Visit La chiesa di San Giovanni on Isola Comacina on your trip to Lake Como Italy.
Visit lake como Italy and stay in a lakeside Villa with front seats to the Sagra Di San Giovanni. Every year in June the Sagra Di san Giovanni ( festival of St. John ) takes place to commemorate the destruction of the island by the Comaschi, in 1169, as a punishment for its alliance with Milan, during the ten-year war (1118-1127). You really need to take your time to see this most spectacular Fireworks which is usually held on the last weekend in June around 10.30 pm and lasts about 45 minutes. Access is best via the boat as there is a quick getaway and the roads are all closed until 2 hours after the firework.
