Lecco

Italy > Lombardia > Lecco

Lecco is an Italian city set in Lombardy 50 kilometres north of Milan; it borders a branch of the Lake of Como (named Lake of Lecco) on the west and the Lombard Alps on the east. Lecco is the capital of the province of Lecco.

The lake tightens and forms the river Adda, so bridges were built to improve road communications with Como and Milan. There are three bridges crossing the river Adda in Lecco: the Azzone Visconti Bridge (1336-1338), the Kennedy Bridge (1956) and the Alessandro Manzoni Bridge (1985).

On January 1, 2001 Lecco had 45,827 inhabitants. Its economy used to be based on industry (iron manifacturers), but now it is based mainly on tertiary.
