Varenna (Comasco, Lecchese: ) is a comune (municipality) on Lake Como in the Province of Lecco in the Italian region of Lombardy, located about north of Milan and about northwest of Lecco.
Varenna was founded by local fishermen in AD 769 and was later allied with the commune of Milan. In 1126 it was destroyed by the rival commune of Como, and later received the refugees from the Isola Comacina, who had met the same fate (1169).
