The "Lariosauro", the monster of Lake Como.
The charm and mystery of the ancient legends relating to monsters and "strange" beings, also come together here on the romantic shores of the beloved Lake Como; in fact for years there have been sightings of a marine animal that escapes canonical zoology. Despite the more or less questionable testimonies, it is thought that the monster of Lake Como is nothing more than a trivial small carp.
In 2002 in Dervio, in the province of Lecco, on the eastern shore of the lake, a photo was taken that would portray the Lariosaurus. As in the case of the Lochness monster, this could also be fake news, but the doubt remains ... and curiosity too!
The Lariosaurus is a truly existed animal: it was an extinct aquatic reptile, which lived 235 million years ago. The first specimen came to light in 1830 in Perledo, a town near Lake Como, on the same shore of the lake in the province of Lecco.
There is still no scientific evidence on the existence of the Lariosaurus, but the fascination that these legends arouse in us is undeniable.
Lake Como: a fantastic discovery every day!
