In a large inlet on the shore of Lake Como stands Argegno, a small village of Roman origins, testified by two tombstones found in Brienno, which name the Roman Publius Cesio Archigene, in charge of erecting altars to the gods.
The town, crossed by the Telo stream, occupies a strategic position that motivated the construction of two castles: the first, built in 1270, was the scene of the bloody struggles between the Guelphs Vittani and the Ghibellines Rusconi; the second was erected in the center of the town: the last tower collapsed in 1876, while the lower part was used as a house.
In the center of the village stands the neo-Romanesque Parish of the Holy Trinity, dating back to the early 20th century.
