Lake Como
Lake Como (''Lago di Como'' (:ˈlaːɡo di ˈkɔːmo) or locally (:ˈlaːɡo di ˈkoːmo) in Italian, also known as Lario (:ˈlaːrjo), after the Latin name of the lake; ''Lach de Comm''〔/la:k dekɔ̆m/〕 in Lombard; Latin: Larius Lacus) is a lake of glacial origin in Lombardy, Italy. It has an area of 146 square kilometres (56 sq mi), making it the third-largest lake in Italy, after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. At over 400 metres (1,300 feet) deep, it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe, and the bottom of the lake is more than 200 metres (660 ft) below sea level.
Lake Como has been a popular retreat for aristocrats and wealthy people since Roman times, and a very popular tourist attraction with many artistic and cultural gems. It has many villas and palaces (such as Villa Olmo, Villa Serbelloni, and Villa Carlotta). Many famous people have or have had homes on the shores of Lake Como, such as Matthew Bellamy, Madonna, George Clooney,〔(Lifeinitaly.com )〕 Gianni Versace, Ronaldinho, Sylvester Stallone, Julian Lennon, Richard Branson, Ben Spies, and Pierina Legnani.
==Etymology==
The lake's name in Latin is ''Larius'', Italianised as ''Lario'', but this name is rarely used; it is usually called ''Lago di Como'' (literally "lake of Como"). In guidebooks the lake may be variously referred to as Lake Como, Lake of Como, or Como Lake. Its name comes from the city of Como, known to the Romans as ''Comum''.
While the town of Como is referred to as ''Como'', the lake is never referred to solely by this name. This is not true of another lake in Italy, Lake Garda, where ''Garda'' may refer to either the town fronting the lake, or the lake.
