Carlo Tassone, 25, manager of Machete Capelli & Barba on Via Olginati in Como, is one of the faces of the Retro Collection, the line that honours the legacy of Como 1907 through timeless design and the iconic crest. “Seeing my photo wearing the collection’s sweatshirt on the cover of BLU and on billboards across the city was an incredible experience, not only for me, but also for my family and friends. My dad, a lifelong fan of Como 1907, who has always held a season ticket in the Curva, couldn’t believe it.” For Carlo, wearing the collection’s pieces was a wonderful experience: “The Retro Collection is truly stunning. My favourite items are the classic sweatshirts, both the blue and the white ones, the longsleeved polo, and especially the white shortsleeved polo, which is absolutely magnificent. The quality of the collection is outstanding, and young people really appreciate it. Many of my friends have already bought some of the items and are very happy with them,” he explains. A…

There are football stories shaped by family, geography or fate. Jed Meekins and KACS arrived at Como another way. They found it almost by accident, and then kept coming back until it became part of who they are. The story begins in 2003 in a pub on the Isle of Wight. Jed and his friends had planned a trip to Milan and thought they might take in a match while they were there. But neither of the Milan clubs were playing that week, so they looked for the nearest game instead. It was Como against Lazio at Sinigaglia, played in the rain on what Jed still remembers as a bad day. It should have been a one off. Instead, it became the beginning of something that has now lasted more than twenty years. “We decided to go to Milan, and we said maybe we go to a Milan game. But no Milan teams were playing that week, so we said the nearest team is Como,” Jed recalls. “We came to Como, watched the game, and then said right, we’ll go back there.” They did. The following year brought another trip, this…

There is always a certain excitement when something new opens on Lake Como, but some arrivals feel bigger than others. The new Lake Como EDITION, which opened in March 2026, is one of them. Set in Griante, directly opposite Bellagio, the hotel brings a different rhythm to this side of the lake, one built around understated design, wellbeing and the kind of hospitality that understands luxury as atmosphere rather than noise. Its general manager Anton Moore describes a place shaped by style, texture and the view itself, with interiors designed to keep the eye moving naturally back towards the water That sense of occasion gives the latest Taste of Como episode its charm. Rather than simply dropping in for a meal, Jean Butez and Edoardo Goldaniga step into a setting that already feels like part of a wider story about the lake right now. In the Discover Como episode, the EDITION is presented as a place where international design meets local calm, where a boat ride to Bellagio takes only…

There are some places that make speed look especially good, and Lake Como has been doing that for a very long time. This spring, E1 returns to the lake, bringing its all electric RaceBirds back to one of the most striking settings in sport. It is also the only fresh water stop on this season’s calendar, giving the race a character all of its own. That sense of return is important. E1 is still a young championship, but Lake Como is already part of its story. E1 presents itself as more than a race series, describing the championship as a platform for electric innovation, marine mobility and greater awareness around protecting waterways. Its RaceBirds, with their electric propulsion and foiling technology, are designed to glide above the surface in a way that feels futuristic, but on Lake Como that modernity sits easily alongside a much older racing culture. Because racing on this lake did not begin with E1. Yacht Club Como traces organised racing here back to 1934, while the Centomiglia…

There are hotels that arrive quietly, and then there are those that feel inevitable. Palazzo Venezia, the newly opened five star boutique hotel in the heart of Como, belongs firmly to the latter. Part of Villa d’Este La Collezione, this refined lakeside property marks a pivotal moment for the city, the first five star boutique hotel located directly in Como’s historic centre, where culture, football, ferry horns, and lake life converge. Set directly along the lakefront, Palazzo Venezia occupies a privileged position between water and city. From its windows, Lake Como unfolds in layers of light and movement. Just a short walk away lies the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, home of Como 1907, anchoring the hotel not only in beauty, but in the everyday rhythm and modern resurgence of the city itself. Housed within a restored 19th century palazzo overlooking Piazza Cavour, the hotel balances classical Italian elegance with contemporary amenities. Interiors feel composed rather than showy, soft…
