The course, Lago Pusiano-Lecco, is part of a longer itinerary that, leaving from the city of Como, crosses the area of the morainal lakes, until you arrive at the town of Lecco. The thread that leads us along the itinerary, offering interesting starting points for visits to some of the relevant cultural and environmental assets and to the places of historical-artistic testimony, is without doubt, Roman architecture. The most eloquent examples are the Basilica of San Pietro al Monte and the Oratory of San Benedetto at Civate. The areas that are crossed along the course, that ends in Lecco, are Rogeno, Bosisio Parini, Cesana Brianza, Suello, Annone Brianza, Oggiono, Civate, Galbiate, Valmadrera and Malgrate
