    REGIONE LOMBARDIA X LEGISLATURA CONSIGLIO REGIONALE ATTI 12788 PROGETTO DI LEGGE N. 0299 di iniziativa del Presidente della Giunta regionale ______ “Fusione dei Comuni di Ramponio Verna, Lanzo d'Intelvi e Pellio Intelvi, in provincia di Como”. _____ PRESENTATO IL 10/05/2016 ASSEGNATO IN DATA 12/05/2016 ALLE COMMISSIONI REFERENTI II CONSULTIVA I RELAZIONE ILLUSTRATIVA FUSIONE DEI COMUNI DI RAMPONIO VERNA, LANZO D’INTELVI E PELLIO INTELVI, IN PROVINCIA DI COMO Predisposta sulla base degli elementi forniti dai tre Comuni. Contesto storico e ambientale La storia recente e remota di Lanzo, Pellio, e Ramponio emerge da dinamiche che nel tempo hanno radicalmente modificato le aggregazioni sociali e l’aspetto del territorio. Risalendo ad un passato remoto, in prossimità del Monte Generoso sono state trovate tracce dell’uomo di Neanderthal risalenti a 120.000/35.000 anni a.C., a Erbonne a 8.000/4.000 anni a.C., per arrivare a 2.000/1.000 anni a.C. nell’insediamento del Castelliere del Monte Caslè. Si tratta con buona probabilità del primo vero e stabile insediamento umano della Valle Intelvi, testimoniato da strutture difensive e abitative. Un borgo o, per la precisione, un castello primordiale, in grado di ospitare e difendere una Comunità umana. Altre tracce ancora oggi evidenti confermano una presenza diffusa degli insediamenti umani in tutta l'area dei tre Comuni. I massi erratici cuppelliformi (o coppelliformi), di epoca ancor più remota (4.000 a.C.), seppure caratterizzanti l'intero arco alpino, sono presenti in numero elevato nel territorio dei Comuni coinvolti dalla proposta di fusione.

  • From Brunate to Monte Piatto Easy Trail Along the Mountain Side , East from Como
    1 From Brunate to Monte Piatto Easy trail along the mountain side , east from Como. From Torno it is possible to get back to Como by boat all year round. ITINERARY: Brunate - Monte Piatto - Torno WALKING TIME: 2hrs 30min ASCENT: almost none DESCENT: 400m DIFFICULTY: Easy. The path is mainly flat. The last section is a stepped mule track downhill, but the first section of the path is rather rugged. Not recommended in bad weather. TRAIL SIGNS: Signs to “Montepiatto” all along the trail CONNECTIONS: To Brunate Funicular from Como, Piazza De Gasperi every 30 minutes From Torno to Como boats and buses no. C30/31/32 ROUTE: From the lakeside road Lungo Lario Trieste in Como you can reach Brunate by funicular. The tram-like vehicle shuffles between the lake and the mountain village in 8 minutes. At the top station walk down the steps to turn right along via Roma. Here you can see lots of charming buildings dating back to the early 20th century, the golden era for Brunate’s tourism, like Villa Pirotta (Federico Frigerio, 1902) or the fountain called “Tre Fontane” with a Campari advertising bas-relief of the 30es. Turn left to follow via Nidrino, and pass by the Chalet Sonzogno (1902). Do not follow via Monte Rosa but instead walk down to the sportscentre. At the end of the football pitch follow the track on the right marked as “Strada Regia.” The trail slowly works its way down to the Monti di Blevio . Ignore the “Strada Regia” which leads to Capovico but continue straight along the flat path until you reach Monti di Sorto .

  • Il Lago Di Como Il Lago Di Como
    IlIl lagolago didi ComoComo percorsipercorsi sull’acquasull’acqua Storia e storie Itinerari Ritratti Notizie di viaggio Numeri utili Servizio per i residenti, meraviglia per i turisti Da sempre i laghi del nord del nostro Paese, costituiscono forte attrazione per il gradevole contesto ambientale e paesaggistico in cui sono inseriti. Il lago di Como, di manzoniana memoria, colpisce per la singolarità delle rive, “a fiordo”, e per il graduale incunearsi del bacino lacustre in zona montana, accompagnato nel suo percorso dalla “Regina”, l’antica strada che ne delinea la sponda occidentale. Il lago di Garda è adagiato in una conca attorniata da colline ricche di uliveti e limoneti che prosperano grazie alla mitezza del microclima gardesano contribuendo a fare del lago un polo di significativo interesse turistico. Il lago Maggiore conserva un’elegante atmosfera “fin de siècle”, enfatizzata dall’eleganza delle ville rivierasche e dalla particolare bellezza delle Isole Borromee. La forte urbanizzazione sviluppatasi nelle aree dei laghi ha originato un esponenziale aumento della domanda di servizi come quello, prioritario, del trasporto pubblico locale a seguito della congestione del traffico nelle arterie stradali limitrofe ai bacini lacustri. Da qui l’importanza, sempre più crescente, di trasporto alternativo come quello offerto dalla Navigazione Laghi, presente da più di un secolo come realtà aziendale prima privata e poi pubblica, i cui battelli collegano proficuamente le sponde dei nostri laghi. A seguito dello sviluppo registrato nel contesto socio-produttivo delle nostre zone, la Navigazione Laghi ha ritenuto utile la realizzazione di queste nuove guide che si propongono come ausilio per i residenti e i visitatori delle nostre belle regioni augurandosi che possano fornire un valido servizio per l’utenza.

  • The Geomorphosites in Lombardy
    Il Quaternario Italian Journal of Quaternary Sciences 18(1), 2005 - Volume Speciale, 39-61 THE GEOMORPHOSITES IN LOMBARDY Luisa Pellegrini, Paolo Boni, Pierluigi Vercesi, Alberto Carton, Lamberto Laureti & Francesco Zucca with contribution of Stefania De Vita Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università di Pavia, Via Ferrata 1, 27100 Pavia – e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: L. Pellegrini et al., The Geomorphosites in Lombardy. (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2005). Lombardy is a region of Northern Italy with a territory whose structure includes, from the physical-geographical point of view, a very important portion of the Alps and the adjacent Po plain with a little part of the Northern Apennines. This situation is due to the complexity of the landscape with its great diversity of historical and human aspects, frequently studied and described, but also the same physical elements which are, owing to their interest, worthy of conservation as part of the cultural heritage. As in many other Italian regions and provinces, also in Lombardy the exigence of describing and making available sites and peculiari- ties of the landscape arose, together with the suggestion of specific naturalistic tours, by means of relative guidebooks, monographs and so on. The Authors of the present work (as a part of the national research programme on ‘Geosites and Italian Landscape’) made a census of geomorphosites in Lombardy in order to their improvement, conservation and availability, both on the tourist and the scientific level. From the operating point of view, because of the high heterogeneity of the Lombard physical landscapes, it has been necessary to dif- ferentiate three main areas: Alps, Po plain and Apennines.

  • Villas and Gardens in the Centre of Lake Como
    VILLAS AND GARDENS IN THE CENTRE OF LAKE COMO VILLA CARLOTTA Via Regina 2b, 22019 Tremezzo (CO) Info: +39 0344 40405 - [email protected] - www.villacarlotta.it Villa Carlotta is a place of rare beauty, where masterpieces of nature and art live together in perfect harmony in over 70.000 square metres of gardens and museum. The beautiful villa was built at the end of XVII century in a natural basin between lake and mountains. The architect created for the Clericis an important but sober building, with an Italian garden decorated with sculptures, stairs and fountains. In 1801 Gian Battista Sommariva, famous politician, businessman and patron of arts, bought the villa. Thanks to him, the villa attained the summit of its splendour and became one of the most important halting-place of the Grand Tour with its collection of art (masterpieces of Canova, Thorvaldsen and Hayez) and its fascinating romantic garden. In the second half of the century Princess Marianne of Nassau bought the villa and gave it as a present to her daughter Carlotta in occasion of her wedding. Her husband was passionate about botany and made a lot of improvements and new additions to the park that became more famous for its botanical richness and the rhododendrons’ and azaleas spring flowering.

  • Turismo Alpino, Saper Fruire Il Territorio in Modo Sostenibile”
    “Turismo Alpino, Saper fruire il territorio in modo sostenibile” Pacchetto turistico TEMA: SPORT EMOZIONI OLIMPIONICHE IN VAL D’INTELVI Tutti conosciamo il motto olimpionico: “L’importante è partecipare…” ,in Val d’Intelvi però aggiungiamo “..ed emozionarsi” Esattamente, perché sarà il visitatore a decidere quando, dove, a cosa e con chi partecipare. Sarà un soggiorno all’insegna della scoperta della Val d’Intelvi attraverso gli elementi che ci circondano, quali sono? Terra, Acqua, Aria e... in inverno… Neve. E quale modo migliore per rigenerare spirito e corpo, il nostro fuoco, se non con lo Sport? La Val d’Intelvi e il territorio circostante sono ricchi di piacevoli sorprese, stiamo parlando di panorami mozzafiato, di chiese capolavori di architettura, di affreschi e sculture uniche al mondo, di una buona mangiata in un ristorante o in un rifugio, magari con amici o famigliari; tutto questo acquista ancora più valore emozionale se li precedessimo o li affiancassimo ad una passeggiata a piedi, in bicicletta, o a cavallo. Il Paese di Laino è più bello visto dalla cima della torre d’arrampicata e il Lago di Lugano è molto più blu e accogliente dopo un’avventurosa discesa di gruppo lungo la forra del Torrente Lirone (Canyoning). Dal cielo della Val d’Intelvi, col parapendio, è più bello fotografare il Monte Generoso, spartiacque naturale tra i due Laghi (di Lugano e di Como), che silenzioso li osserva brulicare di luci, prima del riflesso del Sole, poi delle luci delle case. Le attività proposte sono suddivise in Olimpiadi estive e Olimpiadi Invernali, poiché tutte le stagioni siano ricche di attività, e quindi di emozioni, in VAL D’INTELVI.
