Looking up to the "Frati," a Capuchin monastary built in the 1500s, which is now a conference center on the grounds of the Bellagio Center (The Villa Serbelloni). The current conference is on the impacts of climate change on the the world's people.
The quickest way down to the village: the two hundred or so steps from the villa. The villagers would run up them when pirates or invaders came. I can walk up them, but running???
Bellagio village, on the southern finger of Lake Como, with the bell tower of the 11th century church, St. Giacomo (James) in the foreground.
Bellagio village.
The Sfondrata (explained in earlier post), with its 16th century tower and boat house, on the right hand side. The Sfondrata and its tower are another conference center on the estate. Right now there is a conference going on there on casava, an important food source for 800 million or the world's people.
