Summary "Viaggio pel lago di Como" by conte Giambattista Giovio is a travelogue written in the early 19th century. The work serves as a guide for curious visitors to the Lake Como region, blending historical account with descriptive narrative. The book likely explores the stunning vistas and rich heritage of Como and its surrounding landscapes, rich in significance and beauty. The opening of the work provides readers with crucial background information about the ancient city of Como, detailing its storied history from its origins through various rulers, including the Etruscans, Romans, and subsequent barbarian invasions. It outlines significant landmarks, monuments, and illustrious figures from the region, such as Pliny the Elder and Alessandro Volta, while setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the lake itself.
