Tower on the original city wall, some of which still exists.
Beautiful palace on square behind cathedral.
Frescoe (I believe it is St. Anne and baby Mary) in small 10th century church.
Como Cathedral seemed cold and bleak to me, but this image of the Madonna was breathtaking.
Men of the Italian Alpine Regiment (wearing feathers in their Tyrolean hats) on their way to begin guarding the corpse of Blessed Carlo Gnocchi (a priest with the name of a very tasty food), which is now on display in the cathedral in Como until mid January. I'm not sure what they are going to do with it after that. For now, it was a good fit for the grim cathedral.
