IJCNN'2000, Como, Italy, Grand Hotel.

Como - the city of Alessandro Volta! Can we imagine the world without electricity ?

 

The city of Como lies at the northen end of the Lago di Como; we've spend Sunday on the ship visiting Bellagio, Varrena and Menaggio. Grand Hotel di Como was in Cernobbio, seen here from one of the hills.
