Lecco is a beautiful alpine town in northern Italy. The town is home to the Villa Manzoni, the residence of author Alessandro Manzoni, who set his famous novel 'The Betrothed' here. Local cuisine is rich and flavourful, and you can try specialties such as dried and salted missoltini.

Lecco is located on the banks of Lake Como, which makes it a great destination for lovers of water sports and boating. Those who enjoy rock climbing and hiking can visit the Grigne and Resegone Mountains, and the resort of Valsassina features excellent skiing in the winter.
