Gravedona is situated in an enchanting gulf, protected to the north by picturesque mountains and allocated in a harmonious way, caracterised by small squares, lanes and alleyways. With its churches and monuments, testimonies of a past filled with historic and religeous events, Gravedona is surely one of the pearls of Lake Como. Gravedona and territoryGrava: a word which, amongst the frequent Ligurian roots of names still remaining in the altolario region, indicates a stony coast or headland.Today Gravedona does not have the same aspect of when it was given its name: it is now characterized by the pastel colours of its houses immersed in the various shades of green which paint the background of that once stony headland, giving an air of calm and tranquillity. That headland, lapped by the blue waters of the lake, presents a mysterious colour which invites one to deep and thoughtful meditation. Spread out at the foot of Sasso Pelo, laid in the alluvial plain of the Livo torrent called "Poncia" and stretched out across the gulf waters into which all of its history is reflected, it looks across to the mount Legnone, to the Christian conscript Piona and to the gates of Valtellina where the river Adda flows into the lake.
