Lariana Boat Museum
Lariana Boat Museum
The hall welcomes visitors with eight magnificent boats, serving as an introduction to the narrative sections of the museum tour: historic boats, 19th-century England, the regattas of Lake Como, the powerful runabout class, and the speedboats of Lake Como. Visitors are enchanted by the Laghi Series No. 8, a splendid sailboat from 1920 that once belonged to Countess and explorer Carlangela Durini.
The red hull of the Laura I°, designed by Guido Abbate —the first boat to exceed 200 km/h—and the perfectly preserved elegance of the Colombo Super Rocket 007 certainly do not go unnoticed.
This room also houses our bookshop, which features books and essays on the nautical history of Lake Como, novels and short stories set on the lake, as well as gifts and souvenirs strictly related to boating or themed around Lake Como.
One of the most interesting marine-converted engines in history powered the 356.
Can also be used as an inboard engine in V-Drive mode.
