Province of Como

The Province of Como extends over 1,279 square kilometers of terrain, from the Swiss border to the northern part of the Po Valley in Lombardy.

The territory became a Roman settlement in the first century BC, developing into a significant trade route connecting the Italian Peninsula with Germanic regions.

The province includes 160 municipalities, where local festivals celebrate regional traditions through food, music, and historical reenactments throughout the year.

Regular boat services connect lakeside towns, while a network of roads and railways provides transportation between Como city and other major centers.

Campione d'Italia, an Italian exclave within Swiss territory, belongs administratively to the Province of Como despite being physically separated by Swiss land.
