AN EXCURSION TO REMEMBER: LAKE COMO

According to Fabio Morelli, founder of WeGo, classic car rentals are one of the best solutions for vintage motor enthusiasts to experience passion and become fully immersed in unique experiences.

One such experience was the less-than-one-hour drive from Milan to Como, which was made special by cruising in a gorgeous vintage car. It is an amazing way to explore the lake, in a once-in-a-lifetime tour abord a pristine vehicle.

Known locally as Lario, Lake Como is the third largest in Italy, and has a bonus of being located at the foot of the Alps. Home to towns like Bellagio and Menaggio, Lake Como offers some of the most romantic and picturesque scenery in the world, not to mention world-class food and a serenity that makes it feel like the only place on earth.

The lake has a characteristic shape like an inverted Y, created from melting glaciers combined with the erosive action of the ancient Adda river. According to Lake Como Travel, this led to the formation of the two southern branches that culminate in the cities of Como and Lecco, in the middle of which lies the famous Bellagio (which you may have heard of from its romantic replica in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.).

Though many know of Como due to celebrity weddings like those of Chrissy Tiegan and John Legend, or Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, people often are surprised to find that the lake is made of many small towns, often with enchanting villas and gardens. Como is the busiest (and most “city-like”) of these, with other towns around the lake providing a more relaxing, local vibe and outstanding scenery closer to the lake itself.

There are hundreds of hiking trails, relaxing boat tours and even a ferry that can help guide you to the varied areas to explore around the lake. A car is recommended, though scooter and bike rentals abound in many of the towns as well.

Next stop on our Adventure: A TASTE OF ITALY.

Meet chef Bruna Evangelisti. As a child with her dad’s diplomatic passport. As an adult for work. Today, she is only three countries away from completing a trip around the world and can say that she has been everywhere else at least 10 times.

For all her life, she arranged corporate travel for the most important companies in Italy and abroad by visiting the best restaurants, including those with Michelin stars.

While traveling, she developed a passion for cooking and tasting food with curiosity. Her cooking skills have improved over time in the best Italian and international cooking schools, including the Paul Bocuse Institut in Ecully, France. She loves to share her passion for Italian cooking, teach the secrets of her family recipes, meet people from all over the world, and speak and cook with them. Now that she’s retired, instead of traveling the globe, the world comes to her doorstep.

Evangelisti loves to open her home, a unique and historic house where she works surrounded by a large secret garden overlooking Milan’s rooftops, enjoying — in pleasant weather — dinner or lunch.

After four years, the Cooking Class in Italy has become Milan’s most popular cooking class. Guests meet in her house, learn, share meals, talk, and live for some hours in a real union between different cultures in peace and harmony.
