Every day that passes, a new one arises to understand what kind of place we have become. Thus, on any Saturday evening, walking along the promenade of Villa Olmo and passing through the gardens of Villa Gallia, the gaze is captivated by a particular setting: on the garden of one of the most beautiful ancient villas in Como, the one that in some This is the representative annex of the provincial administration, twelve shiny catwalk supercars are parked (on the lawn): Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW etc. Inflated balloons, acting as an auspicious arch, you can see slender girls and handsome young men, mostly bearded men. What happens? Let’s go take a look. This is the first stop on a car tour organized by wealthy Latvian entrepreneurs, all paired up, a tour developed as a fascinating Raid. Which, to make no mistake, is also imprinted on the doors of the elegant cars: Como-Montecarlo-Provence-Andorra-Barcelona.
The supercar tour from Como to Barcelona
And so, leafing through the brochure of the Como villas, they managed to find Villa Gallia available. Where a dinner was organized in the most beautiful room, the one in which press conferences usually take place. Once the cinema-style chairs and the tables of the authorities had been removed, in that new guise, with large round tables, lights designed to highlight the frescoes and the white marble of the fireplace, with the softly unz-unz music, it seemed like being somewhere else. More or less a fairy tale. Modern, but still a fairy tale. Or rather: the way to see how others see us, and not how we see ourselves, clouded by habit. While (an absolutely coincidental event) a light beam was radiated from a mega airport lighthouse located behind the Hilton (no one knows who operated it) and wandered around illuminating the mountain wall below Brunate, in a sort of Fellini-esque setup. moment, the citizen of Como, in front of the TV watching Germany-Scotland or who knows what film, doesn’t notice all this. Everything in homes remains the same as it was 20 years ago, but Hollywood is on the scene out there, and we don’t notice it, or maybe only at times (for example when you eat a pizza for 20 euros). However, returning to us, this thing of tourist travel by car is in its first edition, and will also be repeated in future years. The route will change, itineraries will change, but one thing will not change: the departure from Como, which will remain fixed. «Como is indispensable. Its history and its beauty are known to all, the charm of its location and its villas are the perfect theater for the departure of these journeys through culture, history, charm and beauty. You will definitely see us again,” says Alexandra. Understood?
