Bellano garde son meilleur secret cach\u00e9 derri\u00e8re les maisons \u2013 une gorge si profonde et si bruyante que vous la sentez avant de la voir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Juste au nord de Varenna, sur la rive est, se trouve une ancienne ville de meuniers construite l\u00e0 o\u00f9 la rivi\u00e8re Pioverna se jette dans le lac. Les ferries s'y arr\u00eatent, les excursionnistes se pressent vers les gorges, et la plupart ne remarquent ni l'\u00e9glise m\u00e9di\u00e9vale ray\u00e9e ni les ruelles paisibles qu'un romancier a pass\u00e9 toute sa carri\u00e8re \u00e0 cartographier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Un bref historique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bellano grew up on moving water \u2014 not the lake, but the Pioverna. For centuries the river&#8217;s force turned mills and forge-hammers; iron from the mines of the Valsassina was worked here from the 1500s, and in 1870 the Cotonificio Cantoni brought cotton-spinning and a working-class rhythm that set the town apart from its prettier neighbours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cette industrie a laiss\u00e9 une empreinte de substance plut\u00f4t que de vernis postcard\u00e9. Les m\u00e9tiers \u00e0 tisser se sont tus depuis longtemps, mais la forme qu'ils ont donn\u00e9e \u00e0 Bellano \u2014 dense, stratifi\u00e9e, sans pr\u00e9tention \u2014 est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment ce qui la rend authentique aujourd'hui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">O\u00f9 se trouve Bellano sur le lac<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bellano lies on Lake Como&#8217;s central eastern shore, a few minutes north of Varenna and just south of Dervio, roughly opposite Menaggio where the lake&#8217;s two western arms meet. The mountains of the Valsassina rise sharply behind it, and the Pioverna cuts straight down through them to the shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cette position en fait une base ou un arr\u00eat de jour facile et sans foule. Elle se trouve sur la ligne principale du ferry Como-Colico et sur la ligne ferroviaire Milan-Sondrio, vous pouvez donc y arriver en bateau ou en train sans voiture \u2014 voir notre <a href=\"\/fr\/ferry-du-lac-de-come-votre-guide-pour-vous-deplacer-sur-le-lac-de-come\/\">guide des bateaux du lac de C\u00f4me<\/a> pour la fa\u00e7on dont les itin\u00e9raires se connectent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/santi-nazaro-e-celso-bellano-facade.jpg\" alt=\"Fa\u00e7ade en marbre ray\u00e9 et rosace de l&#039;\u00e9glise Santi Nazaro e Celso \u00e0 Bellano\" class=\"wp-image-6001\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/santi-nazaro-e-celso-bellano-facade.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/santi-nazaro-e-celso-bellano-facade-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/santi-nazaro-e-celso-bellano-facade-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/santi-nazaro-e-celso-bellano-facade-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/wp30493\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/santi-nazaro-e-celso-bellano-facade-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">La fa\u00e7ade de style roman tardif des Santi Nazaro e Celso est rythm\u00e9e de bandes de marbre noir et blanc autour d'une rosace en terre cuite.

L'Orrido di Bellano<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La raison pour laquelle la plupart des gens viennent. Sur environ un million et demi d'ann\u00e9es, la Pioverna a creus\u00e9 une \u00e9troite gorge dans la roche derri\u00e8re la ville, et un syst\u00e8me de passerelles en acier s'accroche maintenant aux parois juste au-dessus de l'eau. Lors de la fonte des neiges au printemps, le torrent est assourdissant, des embruns sur la roche et les ponts tremblent l\u00e9g\u00e8rement sous vos pieds ; en plein \u00e9t\u00e9, il se calme pour devenir une course verte. C'est court \u2013 environ vingt minutes \u2013 th\u00e9\u00e2tral et enti\u00e8rement s\u00fbr, g\u00e9rable m\u00eame pour les enfants en bonnes chaussures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The Ca&#8217; del Diavol<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the mouth of the gorge stands a strange three-storey pentagonal tower, the &#8220;Devil&#8217;s House&#8221;. Already recorded in the early 1600s, its upper walls carry faded frescoes of zodiac signs and mythological figures which \u2014 along with a tangle of local legend \u2014 earned it the name. Restored into a small multimedia museum, it now tells the story of the Orrido and the superstitions that grew up around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. L'\u00e9glise Santi Nazaro e Celso<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up in the old centre, this late-14th-century church is Bellano&#8217;s quiet showpiece. Rebuilt after a catastrophic 1341 flood by master builders from Campione, its fa\u00e7ade is banded in black and white marble and set with a delicate terracotta-and-glass rose window \u2014 a Lombard-Romanesque design that rewards a slow look. Inside are three naves, frescoed vaults and finely carved confessionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. The old town and Andrea Vitali&#8217;s Bellano<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Loin des gorges, Bellano est une ville active aux hautes maisons \u00e0 volets, aux ruelles \u00e9troites \u00e0 portiques et \u00e0 la vie quotidienne qui a \u00e0 peine chang\u00e9. C'est le monde d'Andrea Vitali, n\u00e9 ici en 1956, un m\u00e9decin devenu romancier dont les r\u00e9cits doucement comiques se d\u00e9roulent presque tous dans le Bellano du d\u00e9but du XXe si\u00e8cle. Promenez-vous dans les rues secondaires et vous marchez sur ses pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Le lac et le port<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, come back down to the water. Bellano&#8217;s small harbour and lakeside promenade look straight across to the mountains of the western shore, with a couple of caf\u00e9s, a gelato and benches angled at the view. It is the right place to end an afternoon, waiting for the ferry as the light turns gold on the far peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planifier votre visite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>J'y arrive.<\/strong> Bellano est une escale sur la principale ligne de ferry Como-Colico et sur la ligne ferroviaire Milan-Sondrio, il est donc facile de s'y rendre en bateau ou en train sans voiture; voir notre <a href=\"\/fr\/ferry-du-lac-de-come-votre-guide-pour-vous-deplacer-sur-le-lac-de-come\/\">guide des bateaux du lac de C\u00f4me<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Id\u00e9al pour.<\/strong> Travellers who want the real Lake Como \u2014 nature, history and everyday life \u2014 without the crowds; a natural pick for anyone hunting the lake&#8217;s <a href=\"\/fr\/lac-de-come-votre-guide-des-tresors-caches-du-lac\/\">Perles rares<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quand partir.<\/strong> C&#x27;est au printemps et \u00e0 l&#x27;automne que l&#x27;Orrido offre ses paysages les plus spectaculaires ; consultez notre guide sur le <a href=\"\/fr\/meilleur-moment-pour-visiter-le-lac-de-come\/\">meilleur moment pour visiter le lac de C\u00f4me<\/a>.
