Overview
Sail on Lake Como aboard the famous MAS 28 – A unique historic speedboat
Live an exclusive experience sailing on Lake Como aboard the famous MAS 28, one of the most famous armed torpedo boats in Italian history.
In the years before the Great War, the Italian Royal Navy formed a special corps equipped with torpedo boats called MAS (Motoscafo Armato Torpedo). These small speedboats, less than 10 meters long, were equipped with two torpedoes for quick and stealthy attacks against large enemy ships, taking advantage of speeds up to 40 knots and night surprise.
The MAS 28 traces the historical exploits of these elite craft, linked to famous episodes such as the Bakar Mockery, with illustrious figures including the poet and aviator Gabriele D’Annunzio, a member of the crew.

built in the mid-nineteenth century, it owes its name to the Russian prince Alexander Troubetzkoy
The prince demolished an extensive cliff with dynamite and for this reason he was called the "turbascogli" by the Blevians. The villa has very sloping pitches with characteristic dormer windows and a bold lift, which goes down to the lake from the Larian road.

It is a three-storey building with a turret on the right; the main floor is marked by a series of gabled windows and is underlined by a terrace with statues supported by a trabeated Doric portico which constitutes a sort of pronaos for the main entrance.
