EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated circa 1910s, transports us back in time to the bustling Como waterfront in Italy. The image showcases the Electric Tram Station, with its distinctive red and white striped awning and the electric tram line running between Como and Cernobbio. The tramway, an essential means of transportation during this era, is seen here as it makes its way through the picturesque town. Adjacent to the tram station, the Cafe-Restaurant Nazionale stands proudly, its terrace filled with patrons enjoying a leisurely meal or a cup of coffee. The Swiss-Italian border post at Ponte Chiasso can be seen in the background, marked by the Swiss flag flying high atop its flagpole. The road leading to the border is filled with activity, as travelers and merchants cross back and forth between the two countries. The serene waters of Lake Como reflect the beauty of the scene, adding to the overall charm of this historic moment in time. The image captures the essence of the Italian Riviera, with its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and the unique blend of Italian and Swiss influences. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Como and the surrounding region, making it a must-see destination for travelers even today.
