COMO, ITALY

Como, the capital of Como Province in northern Italy, is primarily a tourist centre. Como was established as a Roman colony and became an independent commune in the 11th century. It was frequently at war with Milan, and later was controlled by Spain and Austria. It was liberated by Garibaldi in 1859. In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, craftsmen, architects, and sculptors from Como were renowned throughout Italy. The city has a marble cathedral built between the 14th and 18th centuries, a 13th century city hall, and several Romanesque churches.
