The climate year of Lake Como
Lago di Como used to be called Larius Lacus (Roman) or simply Lario. It is a lake about 51 km long and 4 km wide in the mild Mediterranean climate of northern Italy. Around the lake there are many towns and villages where tourism is not yet very noticeable and have preserved their Italian charm to this day. Due to the mild climate, palm trees, olive trees, citrus trees and many more flourish in the gardens. Many films use the lake as a backdrop and celebrities such as Madonna, Brad Pitt or George Clooney own one of the beautiful houses on the lake as a vacation home.
