Jewels of the Alps - Italy's great lakes Lake Como
A film by Mi-Yong Brehm
Documentary (52 min), ZDF/Arte in co-production with DocLab
Of all the lakes of Upper Italy, Lake Como has the most glamorous reputation. The multi-million-Euro villas that line the shore are home to the rich and famous, including George Clooney. But Lake Como has far more to offer than celebrity. This episode of the series ‘Jewels of the Alps’ shows the lake from its wild side; explores its significance as a habitat for plants and animals; and introduces people whose lives are intimately interwoven with its natural environment.
