Erba (previously Erba-Incino, as it formed by the union of these two places, together with some smaller districts) is a ''comune'' (municipality) of some 17,000 inhabitants in the Province of Como in the Italian region Lombardy. It is located north of Milan and about east of Como in the traditional region of Brianza at the foot of the Lombard Prealps and close to Monte Bollettone. Erba borders the following municipalities: Albavilla, Caslino d'Erba, Castelmarte, Eupilio, Faggeto Lario, Longone al Segrino, Merone, Monguzzo, Ponte Lambro, Proserpio. Erba was the site of the slaughter of four people including a 2 year old baby in December 2006. A married couple (the victims neighbours) have been arrested for the murders, the district attorney of Como believes that the reason for the killings is related to an ongoing feud between the families. It received the honorary title of city with a presidential decree on May 12, 1970. ==Main sights== *Romanesque church of ''Sant'Eufemia'', with the 11th-century bell tower. *Monument to World War I Victims, by Giuseppe Terragni (c. 1930) *''Torre di Incino'', with remains of a medieval castle. *Natural grotto of the ''Buco del Piombo''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erba, Lombardy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
