Yesterday we visited the museum for the first time. It was a great experience and we were thrilled. We'll be back soon.

Abbiamo visitato oggi pomeriggio il museo: un'esperienza unica, abbiamo trovato gioielli nascosti della storia navale e testimonianze dell'attrazione internazionale del Lago di Como. Il curatore è una persona motivata dalla passione e dalla curiosità di dare un volto umano a ogni barca. Complimenti a tutti per la gentilezza.
