storia di gravedona Gravedona lac de Côme

histoire

The Roots of an Identity

Its history can be related in its churches and monuments where all the cultures brought here by the major Strada Regina (Queen's Road) merge; this road has always been a precious link between the South of Italy via Milan-Como and Central-northern Europe

. Its history begins with the first roman settlers who overcome a former Ligurian-Celtic organization 10.42 11.05 of which we find evidence in the pagan sacral area later overridden by christianity as recorded in a VI century inscription kept in the nearby church of St.Vincenzo.

When a baptismal parish was built, it then became a rural centre of a federative nature taking part in the ten-year war between Como and Milan (1118-1127), siding firstly with one army and then the other.

Then in 1522 Gravedona assumed the denomination of "Signoria o Feudo delle Tre Pievi" with the Duke Gian Giacomo De' Medici alias il Medeghino.

Later in 1580, it passed onto the eminent prelate Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio who bought the estate and title of Count from Philip II of Spain. Between the end of XVI and the beginning of the XX centuries, we register both from Gravedona and from surrounding villages a period of emigration of specialized workmanship in trades which needed the entrepreneurial abilities which are still today admired both in Italy and abroad.

“…Andando verso il ‘ramo di Colico ’vidi aprirsi d’un tratto il cielo in alto sull’ora del tramonto incipiente, e apparir sulla prima neve del Monte di San Primo il crepuscolo del sole opposto e nascosto, roseo e azzurro. Durò brevi istanti, e l’ammirazione della vista fu raddoppiata dalla sparizione scura e sollecita. Ma non può dir di aver visto il lago chi non conosce Gravedona”.

(Da “Italia per Terra e per Mare”, in Autunno Lariano di Riccardo Bachelli)
