LARIO
Description Street circuit used from 1921 to 1939 for important motorbike races and it was abandoned because it was too dangerous (besides reason, of course).<br />
Lario is the latin name of Como Lake<br />
Map is drawn using an original road map dated 1927 and profile (surely inaccurate, as it is 3 km shorter) is taken from a guide dated 1927.<br />
<br />
My map seems ti have some difference with ones on official website, but I can't understand how it is possible, as on 1930 road atlas there are no more roads.
