Arona
Arona is the first town at the southern end
of the western shore. It is an ancient town
which is still of considerable importance, being
a railway junction of lines to alpine passes
and to Milan, Turin and Genova. Above the town
stands the statue of San
Carlo constructed
in 1697. It is possible to go inside the statue
which can hold 6 people at a time. From the
top looking out of San Carlo’s eyes there
are magnificent views over the lake to the Castle
of Angera which lies on the opposite bank. The
town has many interesting churches and a lovely
lakeside promenade. It has a historical center
which is worth exploring. The main pedestrianized
street which runs through the center is lined
with lots of shops. Along the promenade there
is a children play area, and summer evenings
there are often musical events taking place.
For a particularly special evening, a great
place to try some of Italy’s best wines
is in Piazza San Graziano, 30 at the
Osteria
degli Acrobati ... Have Fun !
