Laveno Mombello and environs

This itinerary, photos and video were made by classes 4A and 4B of the Liceo "Sereni" of Luino, Laveno Mombello section, AS 2020/21, in the "CinemaScuola LAB - CINEMANDO - Education, Citizenship and Constitution" project. Objective: to discover and let people discover the beauty of their own land.On the shores of Lake Maggiore, embraced by the Pre-Alps, stands Laveno Mombello. Like many Italian villages, it holds monuments and treasures of great historical value, but it is the beauty of the landscape that will make you fall in love. Admire it while strolling along the lakeside promenade or embrace it with your gaze from the enchanting garden of Villa De Angeli Frua or, even better, from the top of Sasso del Ferro, convenient to reach by cable car. Back in the valley, the Laveno woods await you to take a dip in nature and, further south, Forte Castello Park to take a leap into history, back to Garibaldi's time. Fans of art and craft culture can visit the Cerro Ceramics Museum, where porcelain tells the story of a village's identity, between respect for traditions and experimentation with new forms. Finally, the Laveno-Cittiglio bike and pedestrian path offers the opportunity for a bike ride and a chance to discover the villages and flavors of the lake. You can reach Laveno Mombello by ferry from Intra or by car (we are only 80 km from Milan), but the hub of travel is undoubtedly the Ferrovie Nord station, where many visitors land: from here we branch off on our excursions to discover Laveno Mombello and its landscapes. Are you ready? Let's go!
