Brunate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brunate is an Italian town and commune, part of the province of Como, near to Lake Como (northern Italy, 50 km north/east from Milan).

Brunate is famous for its landscapes: the whole Alps can be seen on very sunny days.

Brunate has 1,770 citizens, but is much more populated in summer, when tourists rent houses and apartments.

A funicular connects Brunate down to Como.

Alessandro Volta lived in Brunate for a short period and the prominent Bulgarian poet Pencho Slaveykov died in the town on 28 May 1912.
