Despite its small population and limited size, Argegno<\/a> is full of life. Like many small towns, the Via Statale winds through the center of Argegno, right along the shores of Lake Como. Argegno is home to numerous restaurants, bars, caf\u00e9s, shops, and ice cream stands around the charming village square, which features a statue of Pietro Vassera. (Engineer Pietro Vassera was the first to dive to the bottom of Lake Como in 1948 using a homemade submarine.)<\/p>

During the summer months, Argegno gets busy. Traffic moves slowly through the town, and tourists often take the chance to stop for a photo, an ice cream, or a quick bite. Traditionally, you\u2019ll also see many motorcyclists stopping at the (too) small parking areas. A car is unnecessary in Argegno. It\u2019s better to take one of the ferries, which are constantly arriving and departing, if you want to visit the town.<\/p>

Right next to the harbor, an artificial beach has been created for sunbathers.<\/p>

You\u2019ll find Argegno between Brienno and Colonno, about 20 kilometers from Como, roughly at the bend of Lake Como. Here, the Valle d\u2019Intelvi connects Lake Como with Lake Lugano. Through the twenty-kilometer-long green and sunny valley, the SP13 road winds its way to the Swiss neighbors\u2014a route much loved by cycling enthusiasts. A route that is popular with cycling enthusiasts.<\/p>

The strategic location of Argegno did not escape the Romans either.
In fact, the name Argegno comes from the Roman Publio Cesio Archigene. The town was part of a defensive belt that stretched all the way to Isola Comacina.<\/a>

In the old, picturesque part of the town, many remnants and buildings have been preserved. One example is the small stone arch bridge connecting the two halves of the town, separated by the Telo River. Right next to the bridge is the restaurant La Posteria, located in the town\u2019s original post office.<\/p>

Be sure to also visit the Neo-Romanesque Chiessa San Trinit\u00e0 from the seventeenth century The church was built on the foundations of a church from 1600. In addition to its historic wall paintings and a canvas depicting the nativity, the beautiful round stained-glass window stands out. The church is also a great subject for photos from Lake Como.<\/p>

Argegno has expanded dramatically. Higher up in the hills and valley, apartments, villas, and new developments have sprung up like mushrooms. Here, you can enjoy a little more sun and even better panoramic views. A new Argegno has thus emerged, born from the popularity of the old town.<\/p>

Want to see Argegno from above? It\u2019s easy, just take the cable car up to Pigra<\/a>!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
