COLONNO
Along the Regina state road, between Argegno and Punta Balbianello, at the foot of Monte Costone, is Colonno, a picturesque village that reflects in the waters of the lake. This area is called “Zoca de l’oli”, which means “oil basin” because the lake waters are generally as smooth as oil.
The village, of ancient origins, in the Middle Ages, was part of the Pieve dell’Isola Comacina, and followed its fate in the long war between Como and Milan. Once inhabited by fishermen and farmers, it has maintained a typically medieval architectural structure with houses leaning against each other.
Behind the village, on the slopes of the mountain, are visible the terraces and walls built in the past to be able to cultivate the “fragrant herbs”, which the inhabitants then sold, as ambulant vendors, together with fish and fresh dairy products, traveling around the province with the gerla on their shoulders. Currently, the town's economy is based essentially on trade and tourism.
The inhabited center is crossed by the Valle di Sala stream, which, however, the inhabitants call “Pessetta”. On it, just outside the village, stands a “bridge” house that preserves the memory of a flood that occurred in 1905. In Colonno, the Camogge waterfall deserves to be remembered, which looms over the Regina road.
