Popular Spots in Tremezzo Italy

The town name - Tremezzo, means 3 middles and only taking a wild guess here, but it might be because of its geographical locations and being close to the coastal middles of each bank of the upside-down "Y"-shape lake. Also, since 1947 the village of Tremezzo together with Mezzegra and Lenno became Tremezzina, as it is now called in the province of Como and other parts of the country. This version of the name gave it a female and softer sounding reference.
