Bellagio (Italian: [belˈlaːdʒo]; Comasco: Belàs [beˈlaːs]) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Como in the Italian region of Lombardy. It is located on Lake Como, also known by its Latin-derived name Lario, whose arms form an inverted Y. The triangular land mass at the base of the inverted Y is the Larian Triangle: at its northern point sits Bellagio, looking across to the northern arm of the lake and, behind it, the Alps. It has always been famous for its location.^{[citation needed]} It belongs to a mountain community named Comunità montana del Triangolo lariano (Larian Triangle mountain community), based in Canzo.

Bellagio is part of the Central Lake Como area, which, together with Lierna, Varenna, Fiumelatte, Cadenabbia, Menaggio, and Tremezzina, is the most exclusive area of Lake Como, with lake-view villa prices exceeding 100 million euros in value. However, purchasing one is almost impossible, as no one sells them, making them a global status symbol.
