But we are sure that Alessandro Manzoni and its masterpiece are worldwide famous, especially thanks to the extraordinary natural setting chose by the author: Lecco and its territory.

“That branch of the Lake of Como, which turns toward the south between two unbroken chains of mountains, presenting to the eye a succession of bays and gulfs…”: this is the incipit of The Betrothed and Manzoni well describes Lecco and the eastern branch of Lake Como, we are so proud to live here and we invite you to visit this beautiful land and experience to be a character of the Italian novel.
