Eight different boats, introduction to the museum chapters: from the first boat to break through the 200 kh wall, to the elegance of an "inglesina".

The room welcomes the visitor with eight marvelous boats, an introduction to the narrative chapters of the museum itinerary: the historic boats, the nineteenth century, the Lake Como regattas, the historical runabout, and the Lake Como powerboats. Don't miss the Serie Laghi No. 8, a marvelous 1920 sailboat that belonged to Countess and explorer Carlangela Durini. 
Among the most beautiful boats are the red hull of the Laura I°, signed Guido Abbate - the first hull to exceed 200 kmh - and the perfectly preserved elegance of the Colombo Super Rocket 007.
