L'Area Esterna

Giants of Lake Como

Three true great protagonists of Lake Como, which can now be visited from above thanks to a new elevated walkway.

The outdoor aera houses three big boats that, in the last century, were key players in civil transportation and trade on the lake's waters.
The Balilla, originally Umberto I°, at a time when boats were propelled by lateral paddles, was the first example with a single-propeller back.
The Giulia, one of the most impressive Lake Como working boats, built in 1929, so strong that it was often in demand for transhumance.
The Freccia dei Gerani, the last hydrofoil of the RHS70 series, a true jewel of italian technology.


Enrico Fornanini, il Leonardo del '900'

The life of Forlanini and the development of hydrofoils are told inside the Freccia dei Gerani, thanks to a project funded by EUROPEAN UNION - NEXT GENERATION EU.
