Fishers, queens and silk weavers
This path starts from Cernobbio jetty, enters the ancient dwelling of the village with the church of Saint Vincent, goes through the green oasis of the “Giardino della Valle”, goes up to the Parish Church of St. Nicholas at Casnedo, coming down and ending with the beautiful villa in Liberty style, built between the year 1905 and 1906 by the silken businessman Davide Bernasconi. The suggested path allows to discover the different aspects of the city of Cernobbio , harmonically merged together from the “shore” of the hotels and the tourist facilities up to the historical centre of the ancient village of boatmen, fishers and wool-sorters until the internationally renowned beautiful villas, up to the “cittadella della seta”, the only archeological textile industrial site of Como. Also for Cernobbio we have tried to let discover the hidden aspect of the town, to describe and to make readable also the buildings already cancelled from the flow of time. In any case, we have not had the presumption to give complete and detailled information about every place, but we have tried to make it live on in the historical and geographical reasons that have caused its start/ birth. Only in this way, the places will be able to keep alive the connection with its own history and they will be able to go on hoping for a deserved and due respect in the future.
