About Tenno

Tenno is a scattering of small villages on the hillside above Riva, between vineyards and olive groves at the foot of Monte Misone. The battlemented castle, sacked by French troops in the 18th century, still watches the old road from the lake to the Giudicarie, and below it the fortified hamlet of Frapporta is entered through an arched gate.
