Mariano Comense is an Italian municipality with 25,466 inhabitants, located in the province of Como in Lombardy. It is an important industrial centre in the Brianza area. Mariano is strategically located on the border between the high plains and the hills of Como, between the Seveso stream and the Lambro river, halfway between Como and Milan, in the northern part of Brianza. There are three artificially created lakes in the municipal area: the first two are located on one of the hills of Mariano and date back to the late 1800s, created to contain the water used for irrigating the fields of the Belvedere and Mordina farms, from which they take their name. These two lakes are part of the Brughiera Briantea Park: the smaller one, rich in flora and fauna, is one of the richest reserves in the Como-Brianza area; the larger one has a walking path along its shores and fishing is permitted. The third lake is located in the Vivai Park. This town was also home for many years to Manlio Teodoro, an important advisor to Emperor Theodosius I and, above all, consul in 399, to whom the central square, where the town hall is located, is now dedicated. The Romans settled in Mariano Comense in the second century AD, in a community of Ligurian-Celtic origin dedicated to crafts, agriculture and livestock farming. As proof of this, traces of a Roman necropolis have been found near Via Grandi and 111 tombs dating back to the 1st century BC, in excellent condition, along the course of the Roggia Borromea.
