Beneath the silver shimmer of Lake Como stands a city layered with secrets. Marble towers cast long shadows over cobblestone alleys where forgotten rebellions once echoed and scientific revolutions stirred beneath unsuspecting rooftops.

This self-guided audio tour leads you on a journey through Como’s heart, revealing stories and corners missed by hurried footsteps and distracted cameras. Expect to unlock the hidden pulse of ancient cathedrals and the whispered rumors trapped in centuries-old walls.

Who risked everything inside Como Cathedral for a cause shrouded in peril? What coded messages remain hidden within the Basilica of San Fedele’s stone? Why did students at the Alessandro Volta High School spark a scandal involving forbidden experiments and midnight pacts?

Trace the city’s tangled drama and luminous discoveries as you move from sacred spires to secretive courtyards and vibrant piazzas. See Como with new eyes and hear the city speak in voices long silenced.

Let the city’s shadows pull you in. Start the journey now.
