Lake Como is a land of wonderful landscapes and history, but also the place where adventurous vicissitudes of smugglers, brigands, and soldiers have been consumed. In this frontier land between Italy and Switzerland, the mountains just off the center of Como were excavated to accommodate trenches, fortresses, and hiding places. The forests have been inhabited by thousands of soldiers and the trails were crossed from one side of the border to the other by men with huge shoulder bags, often escaping from the guards of both countries. We will guide you for a few hours in the Spina Verde park, a still green area of Como, where you can enjoy the natural beauty of the park, beautiful views of the city and the lake and learn very particular aspects of the local history
