Quotes[edit]

  • Along the Lake Como perpetual vineyards; then the two small promontories of Vetergnano follow. Not far from those lies Lierna surrounded by a not thankless territory. Its wines are praised for those who suffer from stones and gout, whose taste is pleasantly sharp, making it pleasant to pass by. There is no shortage of olive groves on those fields.
