Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia
The Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium, located near the lakefront in Como, is the city’s main sports venue and home to the Como 1907 football team. Opened in 1927, it was named after Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a local rowing champion and war hero.
Designed in a rationalist architectural style, the stadium has hosted numerous sporting and cultural events over the years. With its iconic location by the lake, it remains a symbol of Como’s sporting spirit and local pride.
Hangar
The Hangar of Como, located at Piazzale Somaini on the scenic shores of Lake Como, is a historic landmark in aviation. Built between 1930 and 1931, it was established shortly after the founding of the Aero Club Como, the oldest seaplane operation in the world.
The structure has preserved much of its original design and still serves as a base for seaplane storage, maintenance, and flight training. In 2019, it underwent a careful restoration after storm damage.
Today, it remains an active hub for aviation enthusiasts, offering both training and scenic flights over the lake.
Villa Olmo
Villa Olmo, one of the most majestic neoclassical villas on Lake Como, was built in the late 18th century as a noble residence. Surrounded by a beautiful Italian-style garden, it has hosted emperors, poets, and statesmen over the centuries.
