Como Lake Italian Wall Tapestry bears Claudius Ptolemy (top right)Como Lake is an Italian jacquard wall tapestry. A towering view within three stone arches of the famous region of Lake Como is displayed. We see the rolling hillsides, Italian villas, and boats in the bay on a beautiful sunny day. We are shown the idyllic life of one of the most coveted regions in Europe. The region has a mild Mediterranean climate and as such has been a favored home for centuries for aristocrats, royalty, and tourists.
