Comedians born in Luino

On the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore near the Swiss border, Luino is a lakeside town famous for its sprawling weekly market, one of the largest in the region, which draws shoppers from across the frontier. Backed by wooded hills and served by lake ferries, it has long attracted visitors seeking mountain and water scenery. Its cultural venues and lakeside events increasingly make space for the touring comedy that Italy's growing scene brings.
