Como 1907 - Official Website | Serie A

The bond between Como 1907 and its territory has strengthened once again away from the pitch, confirming the club's commitment to supporting the safe growth of new generations. During the 13th edition of "Una Vita da Social", the well-known traveling educational campaign promoted by the State Police in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Merit, our club took to the field to actively promote the values of digital legality.

The initiative, organized in collaboration with local Amministrazioni Comunali, involved secondary school students from Erba who had the opportunity to step aboard the Polizia di Stato's multimedia truck. This space became the stage for an open and necessary dialogue on sensitive topics such as cyberbullying, online grooming, and the responsible use of social networks.

Giving voice to the club's values were four players from the Primavera team and two players from the Como 1907 Women Team, who turned the event into a moment of authentic discussion. Francesco Andrealli, Lorenzo Bonsignori Goggi, Cristiano De Paoli, and João Cardozo for the Primavera, along with Claudia Zorzetto and Elena Pisani for Como 1907 Women, shared with the students the importance of carrying fair play from the pitch into virtual life. Our athletes emphasized how respect and responsibility are the "golden rules" for navigating safely, making the Polizia di Stato's message even more impactful and relevant to the daily lives of young students.

The initiative also saw the participation of important institutional representatives, including the Sottosegretario al Ministero dell’Interno Nicola Molteni and the onorevole Eugenio Zoffili, testifying to the project's significance. Special thanks go to the officers of the Polizia Postale, of Stradale and of Scientifica of Como for their constant work in prevention and awareness-raising alongside teachers.

The Polizia di Stato truck continues its awareness journey, and Como 1907 is proud to have scored an important goal in promoting more conscious digital citizenship.

Como 1907 has joined forces with AVIS Provinciale di Como to launch an initiative that brings together the Club and the local community in a project of significant social value.

The partnership aims to expand the network of blood donors in the Como area, engaging an active community like the fans of Como 1907.

AVIS, the Italian Association of Blood Volunteers, was founded in Milan in 1927 to address the difficulty of obtaining blood for transfusions. Since then, it has ensured the availability of blood and its derivatives for all patients across the country who need them. Based on principles of gratuity, anonymity, and solidarity, AVIS transforms the voluntary action of thousands of people into an essential healthcare service for the community.

Donating blood means contributing directly to the health of everyone and supporting a healthcare system that saves lives every day, thanks also to the generosity of donors. Blood donation is a voluntary, free, and anonymous act, representing one of the highest examples of civil solidarity. In Lombardy, thanks to AVIS donors, the transfusion system is self-sufficient: all the blood used in the region’s hospitals comes from voluntary donations, a result made possible only through the constant participation of thousands of citizens.

AVIS arrived in Como in 1936. Today, the provincial association coordinates 21 local branches across the territory and counts over 16,500 members, who together make approximately 30,000 donations of blood, plasma, and platelets each year at hospitals and collection units throughout the province. This daily work, carried out by volunteers and donors, ensures the safety and availability of blood for those in need.

Plasma donation, however, is still not fully self-sufficient to meet regional demand. Raising awareness and involving new donors, especially young people, is therefore crucial. Each year, around 10% of donors must be replaced due to age limits, they can donate between 18 and 65 years or for health reasons.

Beyond donations, AVIS also visits schools, where volunteers explain to children the importance of giving, helping them understand from a young age that donating is an act of solidarity that can truly save lives.

“Having the support of the BiancoBlu community means uniting two worlds connected by a sense of belonging. We want to meet extraordinary people who choose to transform their pride for Como into a precious gift for others, becoming part of our great network of solidarity.” These are the words of Vincenzo Davì and Filippo Pozzoli, representatives of AVIS Provinciale Como, highlighting that being a fan is not just about supporting the team on the field, but also sharing values like responsibility and engagement in the life of the community.

This campaign is part of AVIS’s 90th year of activity in Como and represents another step in strengthening the connection between the world of volunteering and sport.

Be AVIS. Be COMO.

Como 1907 is deeply saddened by the passing of Michael Bambang Hartono.

We extend our sincere condolences to the Hartono family and to all at the Djarum Group.

Under the family’s leadership, the Club has entered a new chapter in its history, and we remember him with gratitude and respect.

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 neutrals, refined materials, and an emphasis on light, proportion, and calm.

As the newest jewel in Villa d’Este La Collezione, Palazzo Venezia extends the group’s philosophy beyond grand resort living into a more intimate, urban expression of Italian hospitality. It is also the first hotel in Como to join The Leading Hotels of the World, a distinction that feels less like ambition and more like alignment.

At the helm is Acting General Manager Barbara Gibellini, whose career within the Villa d’Este universe gives her a rare fluency in both tradition and modern expectations.

“Palazzo Venezia is not about importing luxury into Como,” Gibellini explains. “It’s about reflecting what Como already is, elegant, authentic, and evolving, and offering a place that feels open to the city rather than removed from it.”

That openness is intentional. In her interview, Gibellini emphasised the hotel’s close relationship with the community, particularly its proximity to Como 1907.

“We proudly welcome all Como 1907 supporters,” she shared. “The club has transformed the city in an incredibly positive way, culturally, economically, and emotionally. There is a new energy in Como, and Palazzo Venezia is part of that momentum.”

It’s a statement that positions the hotel not just as a destination, but as a participant in the city’s modern story.

Crowning the property is Altariva Restaurant and Bar, led by Chef Alessandro Rinaldi, whose cooking mirrors the hotel’s philosophy, rooted, refined, and quietly confident.

Originally from southern Italy, Rinaldi brings a deeply personal approach to his cuisine. His work is grounded in tradition, including a family sourdough starter passed down through generations, yet interpreted through a contemporary lens that favors clarity over excess.

“I don’t believe in overcomplicating Italian food,” Rinaldi says. “The goal is purity, letting ingredients speak, but with intention. Every dish should feel effortless, even though nothing about it is accidental.”

The rooftop setting elevates the experience further. As the sun lowers over the lake and the city softens into evening, Altariva becomes a natural gathering point, for hotel guests, locals, and visitors drawn as much by the atmosphere as by the menu.

Palazzo Venezia arrives at a moment when Como is redefining itself, no longer simply a gateway to villas and weekend escapes, but a destination with its own cultural and creative pulse. With direct lake access, immediate proximity to the stadium and Teatro Sociale, and seamless connections to ferries, boutiques, and historic landmarks, the hotel sits at the crossroads of old and new Como.

Guests enjoy the intimacy of a boutique property while gaining access to the wider Villa d’Este world, including its legendary facilities in nearby Cernobbio, a rare pairing of urban sophistication and resort legacy.

In true Condé Nast fashion, Palazzo Venezia isn’t about spectacle. It’s about placement, perspective, and polish. A hotel that understands that modern luxury is less about being seen and more about belonging.

And in Como, right now, this is exactly where you want to be.
