The bow cuts a clean line across bright water as Como recedes and the villas lean in to watch. On a luxury speedboat the wind pushes you forward, carrying views of terraced gardens, stone staircases dropping to the shore, and the distant ribs of the Alps. The boat hums; the lake dares you to look away.
