Roman street grid
Inside the old walls the streets still run in the regular pattern of the Roman town. This gives the centre a crisp chequerboard that stands out clearly against the curving roads outside.

The map
About this Como map poster
Como sits where the south-western arm of Lake Como comes to an end, and from above the town reads as a small, dense rectangle between water and hills. The historic centre still follows the chequerboard of Novum Comum, the Roman colony laid out here, and stretches of medieval wall frame it on three sides. Beyond them the streets loosen and climb into the valley and up the surrounding slopes.
The lakefront is the sharpest line on the map. Promenades curve north along both shores past villas and gardens, while the water opens as a pale wedge between mountains. A funicular runs from the waterfront up to Brunate, drawn as a straight stroke across the looping hillside roads. Como is also the birthplace of Alessandro Volta, and a temple dedicated to him stands on the western shore.
A Como map poster works because of the contrast between order and terrain. The tight blocks of the old town, the broad open lake and the fine lanes that follow the contours of the hills all sit in one frame without crowding each other. In black and white the composition becomes almost architectural, and it holds its own on a wall far from Lombardy.

The lake's southern tip
The south-western arm of Lake Como ends right at the edge of town, so much of the poster is open water, framed by shorelines that narrow as they run north.
Brunate funicular
The funicular climbing from the lakeside to the village of Brunate draws a single straight line up the eastern slope, crossing the switchback roads that wind towards the same hilltop.

Why Como
A map that means something
People choose Como to remember a honeymoon, a summer on the lake or family roots in Lombardy. The print keeps the essential shapes of water, walls and hillside and leaves out the noise, so it reads as a quiet reminder rather than a souvenir.
You can set your own title and subtitle, add a date or a line of coordinates, and pick one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Download the HD files for $9 or order a printed poster, framed if you like.
