Torno, Lac de C\u00f4me : Un guide du village tranquille sur la rive est<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Certains villages s'annoncent d'eux-m\u00eames. Torno tourne le dos aux foules. Il est perch\u00e9 sur un petit promontoire rocheux de la rive orientale, \u00e0 environ sept kilom\u00e8tres au nord de la ville de C\u00f4me, et la plupart des excursionnistes naviguent droit devant lui en se rendant \u00e0 Bellagio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the village’s quiet advantage. Torno Lake Como rewards the traveller who actually steps off the boat: steep stone lanes, two old churches at the water’s edge, and a harbour where the ferries thin out and the espresso arrives without a queue. If you are hunting for the lake’s Perles rares<\/a>, c'en est un.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un bref historique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Torno was once a prosperous wool-working town. Through the Middle Ages its weavers and merchants traded across the water, and the money that trade brought paid for the churches and tall stone houses that still climb the slope. The town’s rivalry with Como ran deep. In 1522, in the course of that feud, Como’s forces sacked and largely destroyed Torno, a blow from which it never commercially recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce qui a surv\u00e9cu est un village qui a simplement cess\u00e9 de grandir, et a ainsi conserv\u00e9 sa forme. Le plan de rue m\u00e9di\u00e9val, les portes sculpt\u00e9es et les deux \u00e9glises sur la rive appartiennent tous \u00e0 ce Torno plus ancien et plus prosp\u00e8re. Au lieu d'\u00eatre reconstruit par-dessus, l'endroit s'est doucement effac\u00e9 dans le calme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u00f9 Torno se trouve sur le lac<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Torno se trouve sur la rive est de la branche de C\u00f4me, sur un coude o\u00f9 des collines bois\u00e9es s'\u00e9l\u00e8vent abruptement directement hors de l'eau derri\u00e8re les maisons. De l'autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 du lac, on regarde vers Cernobbio et les grandes villas de la rive ouest ; juste au sud se trouve son voisin tout aussi discret, Blevio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c9tant si proche de la ville, Torno constitue une excursion facile d'une demi-journ\u00e9e. Vous pouvez y \u00eatre en un saut de puce en bateau depuis Como, ou l'atteindre par la route de rive, puis laisser la voiture et redonner au village un rythme de marche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les 5 meilleures choses \u00e0 voir \u00e0 Torno<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. L'\u00e9glise de San Giovanni Battista et le Saint Clou<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Set above the village, San Giovanni Battista carries a superb marble portal, a Renaissance work attributed to the Rodari school, the same circle of sculptors who worked on Como’s cathedral. Inside, the church guards its greatest treasure: the Santo Chiodo, or Holy Nail, held by tradition to be one of the nails of the Crucifixion and said to have reached Torno with a bishop returning from the Holy Land in 1099. The relic is kept in a casket secured by seven separate keys, and celebrated each June at the village’s patronal feast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Santa Tecla au bord de l'eau<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sur les rives, sur la Piazza Casartelli, se dresse Santa Tecla, mentionn\u00e9e pour la premi\u00e8re fois en 1208. C'est la plus intime des deux \u00e9glises : un solide clocher roman, une rose gothique sur la fa\u00e7ade et une petite statue de la sainte au-dessus de la porte. \u00c0 l'int\u00e9rieur se trouvent des fresques des XVe et XVIe si\u00e8cles r\u00e9alis\u00e9es par des peintres locaux de la r\u00e9gion lariane. Sa position, \u00e0 quelques pas seulement de l'eau qui clote, fait la moiti\u00e9 du plaisir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Les ruelles m\u00e9di\u00e9vales et le port<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Torno est un village qui se d\u00e9couvre \u00e0 pied. Relles pav\u00e9es et passages couverts serpentent \u00e0 flanc de colline entre les maisons en pierre, s'ouvrant de temps en temps sur un \u00e9clat de bleu. Tous redescendent vers le petit port, o\u00f9 quelques restaurants au bord de l'eau dressent leurs tables presque sur le quai. Commandez un poisson du lac, observez les va-et-vient des ferries et laissez filer une heure sans presser le pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. La Villa Pliniana, admir\u00e9e depuis l'eau<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just north of the village, half-hidden in the trees, stands Villa Pliniana. Built in 1573 for Count Giovanni Anguissola, it takes its name from the intermittent spring in its courtyard, first described by Pliny the Younger in Roman times. Byron, Shelley and Rossini all passed through its rooms; today it is a private estate and one of the lake’s most exclusive wedding venues. It cannot be visited casually, so admire it from the deck of a passing boat. For grand houses you can actually enter, see our guide to the les meilleures villas du lac de C\u00f4me<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. La travers\u00e9e depuis C\u00f4me<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

L'approche fait partie de l'exp\u00e9rience. La courte travers\u00e9e depuis la ville, en glissant le long de la rive est bois\u00e9e, vous d\u00e9pose sur une jet\u00e9e en pierre surplomb\u00e9e par le village. Arriver par l'eau, plut\u00f4t qu'en voiture, est la bonne fa\u00e7on de d\u00e9couvrir Torno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
