Early-morning mist lifts from the water as the small jetty in Como slides astern and the bow parts a still, green lake. The captain eases the throttle and villas come into view—low gardens, stucco façades, clipped cypresses—each one readable only from the water. You sip prosecco as the town recedes and the shoreline begins to tell its history.
