- In the past, the rich bought houses and villas only on the hills of Lake Como, as Pliny did with Villa Commedia, in order not to lose their sight and to avoid flooding. "The poor went to the shore to have the water lick their feet".
- In passato i ricchi compravano le case e le ville solo sulle colline del Lago di Como, come fece Plinio con villa Commedia, per non perdersi la vista e per non avere allagamenti. "In riva a farsi lambire i piedi dall'acqua ci andavano i poveri".
- ... dai finestrini aperti giungeva un vento profumato di Alloro, fiori di magnolia e erba bagnata. La pioggia del giorno precedente, per fortuna, aveva lasciato spazio a un bel sole. Superarono Mandello del Lario e Lierna, all'altezza di Perledo Guido tagliò a sinistra in direzione di Varenna ...
- ... from the open windows came a wind scented with laurel (Laurus Nobilis), magnolia flowers and wet grass. The rain of the previous day, fortunately, had given way to beautiful sunshine. They passed Mandello del Lario and Lierna, at Perledo Guido cut left in the direction of Varenna.

- E i magior sassi scoperti che si truovno in questi paesi sono le montagnie di Mandello, visine alle montagnie di Leche e di Gravidonia. In verso Bellinzona a 30 miglia a Leco, è quelle di valle Ciavenna; ma la maggiore è quella di Mandello, la quale à nella sua basa una busa di verso il lago, la quale va sotto 200 scalini e qui d’gni tempo è diaccio e vento. (Ancient Italian)
- And the largest stones discovered in these countries are the mountains of Mandello, near the mountains of Lecco and Gravedona. Towards Bellinzona 30 miles from Lecco, and those of the Chiavenna valley; but the largest is that of Mandello, which is in its valley towards Lake Como, which descends for a distance of 200 steps and here in every season there is ice and wind.
