'''Lecco''' is an Italian [[city]] of c. 47,000 inhabitants set in [[Lombardy]], {{convert|50|km|mi|0}} north of [[Milan]], and is the capital of the [[province of Lecco]]. It lies at the end of the south-eastern branch of [[Lake Como]] (the branch named ''Lake of Lecco''). The [[Prealps]] rise to the north and east, cut through by the [[Valsassina]] of which Lecco marks the southern end. |

The lake narrows to form the river [[Adda River|Adda]], so bridges were built to improve road communications with [[Como]] and Milan. There are three bridges crossing the river Adda in Lecco: the [[Azzone Visconti]] Bridge (1336-1338), the Kennedy Bridge (1956) and the Alessandro Manzoni Bridge (1985). |

Its economy used to be based on industry (iron manufacturers), but now it is mainly tertiary. |
|||
==History== |
|||
Archaeological finds demonstrate the presence of [[Celt]]ic settlement in the area before the arrival of the [[ancient Rome|Roman]]s. The latter built a ''[[castrum]]'' here and made it an important road hub. After the fall of the [[Western Roman Empire]], the [[Lombards]] captured the town in the 6th century; they were followed by the [[Franks]], who made Lecco the seat of a countship and, later, of a frontier [[marches|Mark]]. |
|||
Emperor [[Otto I of Germany|Otto I]] spent a long time in Lecco, quenching the 964 revolt against the [[Holy Roman Empire]] led by Lecco’s count Attone. Later it became a possession of the [[Milan]]ese monastery of St. Ambrose. [[Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor|Conrad II]] also stayed in Lecco, in the attempt to free it from the church, but as the result of the ensuing wars the city was subjected by Milan. It subsequently followed the history of the [[Duchy of Milan]] and of [[Lombardy]]. In the early 16th century it was briefly ruled by the [[condottiere]] [[Gian Giacomo Medici]]. |
|||
During [[World War II]] it was an important centre of the [[Italian resistance movement|partisan war]] against the German occupation. |
|||
==Sport== |
|||
The town’s [[soccer|football]] team [[Calcio Lecco 1912]] currently play in [[Serie C1]]. Their traditional rivalry with the [[Como Calcio 1907|Como team]] is marked by the so-called ''Derby del Lario'' which last took place in the 2001 season when both teams were competing in [[Serie C1]]. |
|||

{{cquote|We voyaged by steamer down the Lago di Lecco, through wild mountain scenery, and by hamlets and villas, and disembarked at the town of Lecco. They said it was two hours, by carriage to the ancient city of Bergamo, and that we would arrive there in good season for the railway train. We got an open barouche and a wild, boisterous driver, and set out. It was delightful. We had a fast team and a perfectly smooth road. There were towering cliffs on our left, and the pretty Lago di Lecco on our right, and every now and then it rained on us}} |
