What to see and do Como is a very small old town and the best way to get to know it is by exploring its nar- row passages, old streets, quaint markets and piazzas, stopping to enjoy a cappuc- cino on the terrace of one of its many cafés. The remarkable eleventh-century Ro - ma nesque Basilica di Sant’Abbondio has a beautiful fresco series inside the apse and a university occupies what was once the cloister. Lake Como’s shores feature a varied landscape of fields, forests, imposing rocks, charming villages facing the lake and magnificent mansions with beautiful gardens, particularly from Cernobbio to Gravedona and Bellagio. The following in- clude only some of the innumerable sights: The middle of Lake Como, where its three branches come together, offers a spec- tacular view of the whole promontory of Bellagio, of the northern Grigna moun- tains overlooking Valsassina, and of the up- per basin against the backdrop of the Alps if the skies are clear. It has the mildest climate and can be reached by boat. www.taxiboat.it Besides the glorious views of the Lecco branch of the lake, which turns south- wards, there are natural springs, like Fiumelatte, described by Leonardo da Vinci, and the impressive Orrido di Bellano (gorge), situated not far from the Renais- sance Villa Monastero at Varenna. 54 — issue 2017 Advanced Implant Esthetics Profile — Lake Como Institute The Lake Como Institute is a center dedicated to higher education in implan- tology.
