Description: Menaggio, Lombardy - ITALY - Lago di Como: Menaggio is a town and comune in the province of Como, Lombardy, Italy, located on the western shore of Lake Como at the mouth of the river Senagra. The area of current Menaggio was conquered by the Romans in 196 BC. The Roman conquest culminated with the construction of a road called the Via Regina. Menaggio was a walled city, and remnants of the wall are evident today. Construction of big hotels in this cool summer area made it a summer resort area. Between 1873 and 1939, Menaggio was linked to Porlezza, on Lake Lugano, by the Menaggio–Porlezza railway, a steam hauled narrow gauge line built as part of a multi-modal transport link between Menaggio and Luino, on Lake Maggiore. Among many events which occur in the town every summer, the Menaggio Guitar Festival is relevant on an international scale. Many international and famous guitarists have played there since its first edition on 2005: Pete Huttlinger, Martin Taylor, Franco Cerri, Roman Bunka, Solorazaf and Ferenc Snetberger are just some of them. The Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard offers a colorful, well appointed overview of the commune. The card is in good condition, but shows some edge wear. Paul Bender, Zurich. No. 5033.
