Okay, so I'm honestly not that into the gargantuan phenomenon known as Twilight. But, I've read all the books, and after seeing the most recent movie I have been inspired by the idea of perfection. I have to admit it was fun and really easy to make a stone perfect complexion and the liquid gold eyes that so many girls have fallen in love with.
Bellano is an Italian municipality of 3490 inhabitants in the province of Lecco in Lombardy , located on the eastern shore of Lake Como . It borders to the north with the municipality of Dervio , to the east with the municipalities of Valvarrone and Casargo , to the south with the municipalities of Taceno , Parlasco and Perledo , while to the west it is entirely bordered by Lake Como.
History
The territory of Bellano was perhaps already inhabited in Roman times . In the last century, discoveries of Roman-era tombs were frequent. In this historical period it was crossed by the Via Spluga , a Roman road that connected Milan with the Spluga pass .
In 905 , but probably already for some centuries, the city was owned by the archbishop of Milan , who had established his residence there from which he administered civil justice.
According to an archive document, preserved in the Milanese monastery of Sant'Ambrogio , in the year 905 a trial was held in which Archbishop Andrea da Cantiano acted as judge in a dispute between the inhabitants of Limonta . to the abbot of the same monastery, and during the trial the archbishop himself would have resided in the "aula solarii Curtis sancti Ambrosii, que Belano codicil sita iuxta laco comense" , that is, in the "sunny palace of the court of Sant'Ambrogio which is called Belano, located near Lake Comense" .
There has been much discussion about the origins of the Parish Church , perhaps as early as the 7th century, also given the antiquity of the title to Saints Nazaro and Celsus, to whom Saint George was later added. In any case, the Pieve di Bellano is mentioned in the Liber Notitiae Sanctorum Mediolani by Goffredo da Bussero .
Passed like Valsassina under the control of the Torriani , it then came into the possession of the Viscontis from the end of the thirteenth century, and from 1370 it enjoyed the right to formulate its own Statutes. The fourteenth-fifteenth century city held an important position in the Lario: the walls , the Praetorium, the old parish church near the Pioverna , the numerous palaces, the precociousness of teaching (grammar schools are attested since 1417) gave Bellano notable prestige, which explains both the frequency of looting (the famous Venetian one in 1447), which ended in 1454 with the peace of Lodi , and the resistance to attempts at enfeoffment (in 1467 to the Rusca, in 1471 to Lorenzo da Pesaro) , until the assignment in 1480 of the Contado della Riviera with Bellano, Mandello del Lario and Varenna , and the following year Dervio , Corenno and Monte Introzzo were added to Pietro II Dal Verme , count of Bobbio , Voghera , Castel San Giovanni and the entire Val Tidone , Pieve di Incino and Valsassina , who died poisoned by his wife in 1485 , and the fiefdom was assigned to Chiara Sforza, daughter of Galeazzo Maria Sforza , widow of Dal Verme. Despite the frequent expropriations and damage (destruction of the walls by will of Medeghino , in 1531), Sforza was able to maintain control of the situation until her death ( 1530 ), while in 1533 her heirs Fregoso preferred to cede Bellano and the other fiefs in the Sfondrati . We note with interest how the years 1520-1530, tumultuous and often dramatic, saw a notable flowering of art in Bellano, well demonstrated in the building of the Parish Church.
From 1533 to 1788 the city was an important part of the Sfondrati della Riviera fief, despite suffering harsh trials such as the plagues of 1576-1577 and 1630 and the Montalto (1629) and Rhoan (1634) sackings. With the death of the last Sfondrati, in 1788 Bellano returned to being state property of the Duchy of Milan .
On 1 January 2020 it incorporated the territory of the municipality of Vendrogno .
In November 2021 it becomes part of the circuit of The most beautiful villages in Italy .
The municipal coat of arms was granted by decree of the President of the Republic of 30 September 2021 , who "updated" the previous concession, which took place by decree of the Head of Government of 6 December 1928 :
«Intersed in a curved cloak , in the FIRST: of blue, to the red tower crenellated in the Ghibelline style of two pieces, walled in black, open and windowed in one piece, of the same, topped by a natural laurel wreath , founded on a plain of green and accompanied by the black capital letters A and N; in the SECOND: field of sky , to the boat with natural sail, sailing on a sea of ​​silver and blue; in the THIRD: silver, green on the snake , crowned with gold, swinging on a pole, swallowing in half a naked child of complexion, natural brown scalp and accompanied by the black capital letters I and O. On the red head , charged by a golden lily. External ornaments from the Municipality»
( Presidential Decree 30 September 2021 )
The constituent elements of the coat of arms, present since 1928, are the symbols of two important noble families linked to the territory, the Della Torre or Torriani (a tower with the initials A and N) and the Visconti (a snake with the letters I and O, initials of Ioannes , or the archbishop of Milan Giovanni Visconti ); within the "mantle" made up of the aforementioned emblems, the effigy of the ship cutting through the waves evokes the position of the town of Bellano, on the shores of Lake Como. The 2021 presidential decree added the red head with the golden lily to the design, which takes up the coat of arms of the suppressed municipality of Vendrogno .
The banner is a blue banner bearing the municipal weapon; originally granted by royal decree of 22 February 1934 , it was in turn modified in compliance with the aforementioned Presidential Decree of 30 September 2021
Religious architecture
The church of Saints Nazaro and Celso dating back to 1348 , recognized as a national monument, is a late Romanesque style building, significantly restored; outside, on the facade, the rose window has a valuable large frame; between the portal and the rose window there is a Gothic aedicule embellished with a statue of Sant'Ambrogio now located inside. Inside there are many frescoes dating back to the 16th century .

The sanctuary of the Madonna delle Lacrime (1690-1704), in Lezzeno and in baroque style, was built following an alleged miraculous event of tearing of blood by a Marian icon . According to tradition, the episode occurred on 6 August 1688 . Exactly two years later the foundation stone of the sanctuary was laid, completed at the beginning of 1704 and consecrated in 1896 by Andrea Carlo Ferrari . On August 6, 1938, Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster endowed the effigy with a crown. Inside the Sanctuary there is also an altarpiece depicting a Glory of Saint Joseph (17th century) .

Weigh vegia
The Pesa vegia is an event of the Christmas holidays, an event with over 400 years of history behind it which presents itself to its visitors every year on January 5th . There are many legends and hypotheses that have arisen over the years surrounding the birth of this event. From the research work recently carried out by Antonio Rusconi (and resulting in the publication of the book Pesa Vegia between legend and reality ), a dating around 1605, the year in which there was the issuing of a cry, by the Governor Pedro Acevedo , Count of Fuentes, who annulled a previous reform of his in 1604 and brought the old units of measurement back into use (hence the name Pesa vegia ).
The people of Bellano have celebrated this event every year for 4 centuries, even in times of war and privation, staging the procession of the Three Kings , the race of the Pese through the streets of the town and the bonfire on the pier. Over the years there have been many changes and innovations in the way of celebrating the happy news. And so the governor and the reading of the edict from the balcony of the town hall, the living nativity scene, King Herod's castle and more came to light in the second half of the twentieth century.
Current tourist location, from at least the fourteenth century until the 1930s Bellano was an area rich in vineyards. Typical wines of Bellano were the so-called claretto (a white), the so-called vin del tecc (a sort of Marsala ) and straw wine (obtained by fermenting raisins on straw).
In the sixteenth century , smuggling activities were documented both in the Bellano area and in that of Varenna .
Between the mid- nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century , many factories were also active , in such a number as to make Bellano one of the most flourishing industrial centers of the Lario after Como and Lecco . ​​Among the most flourishing industrial activities present in the Bellano area was the Cantoni Cotonificio .
