Lake Como Cans Air for Tourists at €10
Tourists can now purchase sealed cans of Lake Como air, a novel souvenir amid rising visitor numbers.
- Cans containing 400ml of Lake Como air are being sold for €10 at select locations around the lake.
- This marketing idea aims to appeal to American tourists, whose visits have increased since George Clooney purchased a villa nearby.
- The concept draws inspiration from historical and artistic precedents, including Marcel Duchamp's 'Air de Paris' from 1919.
- Some locals express skepticism, preferring the genuine experience of breathing Como's air firsthand.
- Tourism in the Lombardy region is booming, with 5.6 million visitors last year, prompting measures to manage overcrowding in popular areas.
