Geography
Gera Lario is located on the north shore of Lake Como at the mouth of the Gera stream at the foot of Mount Montemezzo.

Story
Gera Lario is an old fishing village founded in Roman times. The place was important at that time because it was on the Roman road Via Regina, which connected Como with Val Chiavenna and Raetia. In addition to fishing, agriculture and silkworm breeding were also practiced in Gera Lario. The name of the village probably derives from the ancient Greek word leréus for priest. The place was a base for the Spanish troops during the clashes with the Graubünden from Valtellina. In 1482 Gera Lario received ecclesiastical autonomy. A flood on August 8, 1951 killed 17 residents and severely damaged the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Fatima, built in 1634.
