'''Dongo''' ([[Comasco]]: {{lang|lmo|Dongh}} {{IPA-lmo|ˈdũːk|}}) is a ''[[comune]]'' in the [[Province of Como]] in the [[Italy|Italian]] region [[Lombardy]]. It lies on the northwestern shore of [[Lake Como]] between [[Gravedona]] and [[Musso (CO)|Musso]] at the mouth of the [[Albano (stream)|Albano]]. It is {{convert|70|km|mi|0}} north of [[Milan]] and about {{convert|40|km|mi|0}} northeast of [[Como]].
It was in Dongo, on
Dongo borders the following municipalities: [[Colico]], [[Consiglio di Rumo]], [[Garzeno]], [[Germasino]], [[Musso, Lombardy|Musso]], [[Pianello del Lario]], [[Stazzona]].
==Main sights==
===Palazzo del Vescovo===
The Palazzo del Vescovo (Palace of the Bishop) was erected in the 17th century by the family of the [[Marquis]] Cossoni. In 1854, [[Carlo Romanò]], the [[Bishop of Como]], acquired the building from the Cossoni family.
In 1983, the Town of Dongo purchased the building. The citizens of Dongo, assisted financially by the Comunità Montana Alto Lario Occidentale, initiated the complete restoration of the Palazzo shortly thereafter.
Still bearing its original name, the building currently houses the Civic Institute of Music "Alto Lario", and, since December 2003, the [[International Piano Academy Lake Como]].
===Palazzo Manzi===
The Palazzo Manzi, facing across the main square on the lake front, now serves as the ''Municipio'' (centre of civic administration) for the ''comune''. Its ground floor houses the ''Museo della Fine della Guerra'' (Museum of the end of the war), reopened after refurbishment in April 2014 and formerly known as the ''Museo della Resistenza'' (Museum of the resistance). The museum provides audio and visual displays relating to the [[Italian partisans|partisan]] movement in Dongo and the north Como area from the time of the [[Italian armistice]] in September 1943 up to the end of the war, and more specifically to the capture of [[Mussolini]] and other fascist leaders at Dongo in April 1945, and their subsequent execution.<ref name="MuseoLeaflet">La Storia Ricomindi in Dongo, leaflet issued by the Museo della Fine della Guerra Dongo, April 2014.</ref>
