“Nestled in the heart of Lombardy’s hills,
Where emerald waters glisten and spill,
Lies a place of timeless elegance,
A destination of rare magnificence.
Lake Como, jewel of Italy’s crown,
Boasts of mountains that kiss the sky’s gown,
And a tranquil breeze that whispers sweet,
As you wander it’s shores on your feet.
It’s winding roads reveal charming towns,
With cobbled streets and ancient stone crowns,
Where ochre-hued villas and lush gardens thrive,
And memories of the past still come alive.
The scent of fresh blossoms fills the air,
As you bask in the sun’s warm glare,
And marvel at the artistry of man,
Whose masterpieces adorn the land.
In Como, romance is at it’s best,
As lovers embrace and souls are blessed,
By a magic that transcends time and space,
And leaves an indelible mark on your face.
So come, O wanderer, and heed my call,
Let Como’s beauty enchant you in all,
And take with you a piece of it’s soul,
As you bid it farewell and go.”
