View from Monte Bisbino down to the neighbouring town of Moltrasio on the west shore of Lake Como. The village extends from the shore of the lake to the slopes of Monte Bisbino. It is famous throughout the area for its grey-coloured stone, which was even used by the Maestri Comacini in building. It is a village of ancient origins. During the building of the lake road, in 1910, a number of findings, dating back to pre-Roman times, were made. Furthermore, the remains of a path, built in Roman times, came to light while the cemetery was being extended. The village was struck by the plague in the sixteenth century and its population was decimated.
