Early history

The village was an autonomous municipality until 1928, when it merged into Mezzegra becoming its frazione (civil parish).

Death of Mussolini

The village has passed into history because it is the place where Benito Mussolini and his lover Claretta Petacci were killed on April 28, 1945, in front of a manor house named Villa Belmonte. The execution was carried out by local resistance fighters (partigiani), who had captured the dictator at Dongo (often erroneously considered to be the place where the execution actually took place).

Geography

Giulino, part of the Intelvi geographical region, lies on the hills close to the north-western shore of the Lake Como. It is 2 km from Mezzegra, 30 from Como and 40 from Lugano (in Switzerland).
