Background
Was Curte Tremecia in the ninth century, a small coastal town that must have already existed in Roman times. With the year 1000 it assumes its current name and is part of the area of Isola Comacina allied with Milan; this meant that the village was attacked and set on fire by Como, ally of Federico Barbarossa.
The golden century for Tremezzo is the seventeenth, when the town takes advantage of the trade that rich local families entertain with northern Europe; it is always in this period that most of the villas that characterize the tremezzina. However, well-being disappeared after the Napoleonic period; fallen into crisis, several wealthy families sell their goods to wealthy Milanese people. In the mid-nineteenth century the first hotels were built and a good tourist activity began, favored by the amenity of the place. Except for the war periods, the town develops its tourist vocation and becomes one of the most popular centers on the lake.
