Owner Location Comment
Along the Via Regina, between Argegno and the Punta Balbianello, at the foot of Monte Costone, is the picturesque little village of Colonno which is reflected in the waters of the lake. This area is called "Zoca de l'oli", that is the "oil basin", because the waters of the lake are usually as smooth as oil.
The village has ancient origins. In medieval times it was part of the Parish of the Isola Comacina, and so it shared the same fate as the island in the long war between Como and Milan.
It has conserved a typically medieval architectural structure, with each house leaning against the next one. Behind the village, on the slopes of the mountain one can see the terracing and walls built in the past to enable the cultivation of the "fragrant herbs", which the inhabitants would sell along with fish and fresh dairy products to peddlers who went around the province with a basket on their backs. Nowadays the village's economy is based mainly on business and tourism. The noteworthy waterfall of the Camogge is located near Colonno along the Via Regina.
