Lake Como Offers Tourists Canned 'Fresh Air' Souvenir for $11

Visitors to the iconic Italian destination can purchase a can of air as a novel keepsake, available only at local shops.

  • The canned air, marketed as '100% authentic', is sold exclusively at select locations around Lake Como, Italy.
  • The initiative was created by Italian marketing specialist Davide Abagnale to promote tourism in the region.
  • Each can contains 400ml of air and is designed to be repurposed as a pen holder or plant pot after opening.
  • While some view the product as a humorous souvenir, others criticize it as an unnecessary gimmick.
  • Similar products have been sold in other tourist areas, including Naples and the Rocky Mountains.
