The Malgrate lakeside promenade<\/strong> is not merely a feature of the landscape, but embodies the very essence of a village that lives in harmony with the water. Regarded by many as the area\u2019s most famous \u2018postcard\u2019 view, this space reveals itself as a refined blend of ancient history and cutting-edge architecture, offering a privileged view of the town of Lecco <\/strong>and its iconic mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the old harbour to the Kennedy Bridge: the history of a village on the water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Malgrate\u2019s roots are intrinsically linked to shipping and trade. As early as the 14th century, well before the construction of the Azzone Visconti Bridge<\/a>, the village was home to a vital harbour <\/strong>that served as a link between the two banks. This maritime tradition continued over time: in the 1920s, a distinctive ferry service<\/strong> was still in operation \u2013 a historical legacy that came to a definitive end in the 1950s with the opening of the modern Kennedy Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A linear park blending architecture and sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The contemporary transformation we admire today is the result of a vision that began in 2009. The project has radically transformed the appearance of the lakeside, creating a true linear park<\/strong>. Through a series of sloping terraces that elegantly bridge the difference in level between the road and the water, the lakeside promenade has, since 2013, become a large open garden: a continuous pedestrian route constructed using materials inspired by the landscape and a design focused on sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect postcard: the iconic view of Lecco and the \u2018Matitone\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A stroll through Malgrate is a sensory experience: the gentle sound of the water<\/strong> and the system of artistic fountains create a physical link between the heart of the town and the lake, conveying a unique energy to every visitor. From this strategic vantage point overlooking Lake Como<\/strong>, the eye is drawn to the area\u2019s most famous view: the town of Lecco <\/strong>with its bell tower, the \u2018Matitone<\/a><\/strong>\u2019, framed by the imposing silhouettes of Mount Resegone<\/a><\/strong> and Mount San Martino<\/a>, which are reflected in the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those wishing to discover the true spirit of this area, the Malgrate lakeside promenade remains an unmissable and unforgettable stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
