Lierna is a "comune" in the province of Lecco in Lombardy, “the Diamond of Lake Como” in north-west Italy. It lies on the eastern shore of Lake Como. It is about north of Milan and about north-west of Lecco. It has an area of 11.3 km² and has twelve "frazioni": Bancola, Casate, Castello, Cisarino, Genico, Giussana, Grumo, La Foppa, Mugiasco, Olcianico, Sornico and Villa. At the end of 2014 the population was 2176 people, in 983 families. Lierna borders the comunes of Bellagio, Mandello del Lario, Varenna, Limonta (Oliveto Lario), Esino Lario, Mandello del Lario. History. The first mention of Lierna dates to 854 AD, but Roman remains, including a mosaic floor now in the Palazzo Belgioioso of Lecco, attest to much earlier settlement. The name of the village may be of Roman or of Celtic origin. Between 1035 and 1202 it was a feud of the Monastery of San Dionigi in Milan. Lierna was contested between Milan and Como, and between the Della Torre and Visconti families. It passed into the hands of the Marchesino Stanga in 1499, and in 1533 to the Sfondrati family of Cremona, who held it until 1788. Lierna became a "comune" in 1743, when it was separated from that of Mandello. In 1927 the Milanese sculptor Giannino Castiglioni opened a studio at his house in Lierna. He died in Lierna on 27 August 1971. He left some preparatory plaster casts to the comune; a museum to house them is under construction. In 1933 an incomplete fossil of "Lariosaurus balsami", a nothosaurid from the Middle Triassic (circa 240 million years ago) of which the first example was discovered at Perledo, some 10 km north of Lierna, was found in a quarry in the "frazione" of Grumo. It is now in the Museo di Storia Naturale in the Palazzo Belgioioso of Lecco.
