Merone

The cluster is in the Brianza-Comasco lake-and-hill belt, with the Prealps rising to the north. Lake Pusiano lies within the area, and Lake Alserio is also nearby. The Lambro basin shapes the local low hills, woods and settled valleys. The area falls inside the Parco Regionale della Valle del Lambro, and the lakes and wetlands around Alserio and Pusiano are part of the protected system of the northern Brianza lakes. Como is the nearest city of size, with rail services, a walled historic centre and the south-western branch of Lake Como beyond the 15 km radius. The area is known for its small lakes, wooded moraine hills and heavily settled Brianza landscape.
