<h2>Visit Isola Viscontea, a small jewel in Lecco Pescarenico.</h2> <p>The Isola Viscontea (Viscontea Island) is a small jewel of Lecco and lies after Azzone Visconti Bridge. The first maps depicting it date back to 1723.&nbsp;There is only one building on the island and it was inhabited until 1956. The owners abandoned it when they were denied permission to build a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.&nbsp;It was occasionally used in later years for private events, despite the ongoing disputes between the administration and owners.<br /> In 2013 the FAI (the Italian Environment Found) recognized the island as a heritage site of historical and cultural interest and included it among its “Places of the Heart”.</p> <h2>Visit the Isola Viscontea</h2> <p>All Places of the Heart managed by FAI can be visited according to a special openings schedule, and dedicated tours are usually provided.</p> <p><img alt="visitare isola viscontea lecco pescarenico" src="/public/visitare%20isola%20viscontea%20lecco%20lago%20di%20como.webp" style="width: 100%;" /></p>
