Lighthouse currently under maintenance (01/2025) - Ascent not possible

At the end of the beach promenade there is "suddenly" a huge building: Villa Olmo. Imposing park with a panoramic view of Como. The bike has to be pushed.

The monument “The Life Electric”, in honor of Alessandro Volta, will be erected in the middle of the first basin of Lake Como, on the last circular part of the breakwater opposite Cavour Square. Star architect Daniel Libeskind is the man behind the work: sleek, linear and deeply context-driven. At approximately 16.50 m tall, it resembles two sine waves opposing each other as they play on reciprocating curves and movements. The work itself interweaves energetic and scientific elements with natural elements. It marks the third pole of the area, as it is located between the Brunate Lighthouse and the Temple with Public Gardens, two other works dedicated, not coincidentally, to Volta. "Life Electric is inspired by the electrical voltage that occurs between the two poles of a battery, Volta's great gift to humanity. The form of this work emerged from my in-depth research into the representation of architectural energy. The piece combines the natural elements of light, wind and water. An installation, a physical and ideal gateway to the 21st century. Source: https://www.visitcomo.eu/en/discover/monuments/monuments-from-900/life-electric/index.html

Villa Olmo is a perfect example of Italian neoclassical style. Its elegance and charm didn’t go unnoticed by Napoleon Bonaparte and Giuseppe Garibaldi, who were two of the most notable guests of the villa. The villa began restoration work in early 2024, so its interior will not be open to visitors for about a couple of years. The gardens that surround it are open all throughout the year.

A stupendous historical structure, the Brunate lighthouse, can be visited internally and climbed to the top by paying a few euros
