Como.

Como was by far the most beautiful city I have ever been too. Como is a small city which is mainly built around the gorgeous Lake Como and into the mountain range. As we walked the city of Como we stopped at a few places to admire the contemporary architecture. One of our first stops was at the Casa Giuliani-Frigerio built by Giuseppe Terragni. After analyzing the exterior, we were given the opportunity to go into the apartment complex and see the inside! The all white apartment was so simple, consisting of the traditional hallway with three rooms branching off. The most fantastic part of this building was the view of Lake Como (especially from the rooftop!). Another favorite part of this apartment was the entire bookshelf wall completely overfilling with books (the owner of the apartment was a writer)! Before we went to Casa Del Fascio, we stopped at the Monumento ai Caduti (a momument dedicated to those who died on the cruise ship that sunk in Lake Como) and Palazzo Novocomum.

After spending a few hours sketching at the Casa Del Fascio building, we were given some free time to explore the city! While the majority of the boys decided to hike up one of the mountains (they were nuts), we decided to take the tram up to the top of one of the surrounding mountains! It was so HIGH!! We got a few panoramic views of the entire city of Como and the lake in the center of it all. Seeing Lake Como and the snowcapped mountain range at sunset was incredibly breathtaking!! I highly suggest visiting Lake Como, it is one of the most beautiful places in Italy!! The seafood here is something to rave about too (and I don’t even eat seafood!).
