Oggiono, Italian comune
Oggiono is a small commune in the province of Lecco with narrow streets and simple houses situated near a quiet lake. The town is characterized by old churches and historic buildings, while the nearby shores of Lake Annone provide space for walks.
Oggiono developed during medieval times and was long shaped by fishing and farming. The town with its old stone buildings and towers from earlier periods shows traces of several centuries of local history.
The town is named after Marco d'Oggiono, a student of Leonardo da Vinci whose paintings are displayed in major museums worldwide. Local churches preserve some of his works, connecting daily religious life with artistic heritage.
The town is easily accessible by car or train from nearby cities, and walking is the best way to explore on foot. The flat terrain along the lake is manageable for beginners, and there are rest spots and cafes along the way.
A 14 km bicycle and walking path runs along the lake beginning near the village of Isella with a tree-lined avenue. The route is flat, suitable for all ages, and passes through changing landscapes with calm water views.
