Squares & Monuments

On the lakefront of Menaggio stands the monument dedicated to the women silk weavers.

Realized in 1990 by the sculptor F. Somaini on commission of the Mantero family that, on the banks of the Sanagra river, in Burgatto, had one of its oldest and most prestigious silk factories. A stele in white Carrara marble, 10 meters high, depicts a weaver at work.
