Como

Como Day Trip: November 15,2011

Our day trip last week was to Como, Italy. Most people know this town for its beautiful lake sandwiched between Italy and the Swiss Alps. Architects(mainly those in Italy) know this town for its rationalist architecture(basically fascist architecture). We did a roundabout tour of the architecture in this town mainly all created by Guissepe Terragni. Personally, I was more impressed by the lake more than anything, and this cool tree we found in the middle of a main square- the rationalist/fascist architecture does not really hold my attention very long. I would like to come back here someday to enjoy the lake more(preferably in the summertime... it was very cold!) Only one more day trip left!
