Como
Como was a Lombard city lordship on Lake Como, ruled by the Rusca family. Milan's Azzone Visconti conquered the city in 1335; in 1337 the Rusca retained lands around Bellinzona and Locarno.
The Rusca later attempted to restore their rule, including an uprising in 1412 and the Republic of Saint Abundius in 1447. These attempts ended when Francesco Sforza brought Como under Milanese rule in 1450.
