  is
   
  often
  
  not
  
  easily
  
  accessible,

  an

  Bellagio,  known  as  the  "  Como  Lake’s  pearl"  is  located  at  the end  
  of  the  promontory  which  divides  into  two  branches  the lake. This  
  enchanting  location,  the  superb  villas  and  small  houses one  
  against  the  other,  the  lush  vegetation  and  mild  climate made  it  a  
  favorite  destination  for  famous  men,  like  Pliny  the Younger,   
  Stendhal,   Parini,   Manzoni,   Toscanini,   Liszt.   
  During the  nineteenth  century  Bellagio  has  become  one  of  the  
  most famous  tourist  centers.  The  country  is  divided  into  twenty-
  two villages that offer views always different. 
  The  most  famous  is  “Borgo”,  which  develops  around  harbor piers   
  with   stairs,   squares,   shops   and   craft   shops   where 
  manufacturers show their art to the tourist
