We did not take the optional cruise on Lake Como, opting out for a lunch and stroll through the village and along the lake's edge. We opted out of seeing several villas owned by billionaires including Steve Jobs, George Clooney, and sheiks from Arabia. We also missed seeing the place where Mussolini was shot as he impersonated a soldier among a German infantry as they were trying to escaped the country.
Wow. The damage a deranged power monger can do. The people in Italy suffered perhaps as much or more than any other country in WWII from the decimations of towns, beloved churches, and art, due to that awful man's striving to build an Empire.
