COMORO

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
COMORO ISLANDS
has been cut through the
limestone
  ranges that enclose it, and once doubtless extended as far as
Chiavenna
 , the Lake of Mezzola being a surviving
witness
  of its
ancient
  bed. Towards the
south
  the promontory of
Bellagio
  divides the lake into two arms. That to the
south
 -
east
  ends at
Lecco
  and is the true outlet, for the south-western arm, ending at
Como
 , is an enclosed bay. During the morning the Tivano wind blows from the
north
 , while in the afternoon the Breva wind blows from the south. But, like other Alpine lakes, the Lake of
Como
  is exposed to sudden violent storms. Its beauties have been sung by Virgil and Claudian, while the two Plinys are among the celebrities associated with the lake. The shores are bordered by splendid villas, while perhaps the most lovely spot on it is
Bellagio
 , built in an unrivalled position. Among the other villages that line the lake, the best-known are Varenna (E.) and Menaggio (W.), nearly opposite one another, while Cadenabbia (W.) faces Bellagio. - (W. A. B. C.)
