Consonno
human settlement in Olginate, Province of Lecco, Lombardy, Italy
Consonno is a part of the town of Olginate, near Como, in Italy. It is a ghost town today. The village has a long history, going back to the 11th century. In the 1960s, Mario Bagno bought the village. Most of the buildings were demolished, and a resort-type area was built. Bagno wanted to build something resembling Las Vegas, in the United States. In 1976, there was a landslide, which made the place inaccessible. Consonno, which had been popular, fell into decay. Today, no one lives there. Bagno died in the mid-1990s. Since then there had been different plans to re-populate the place.
