Mandello del Lario (Lecchese: Mandèll) is an Italian town and comune in the province of Lecco, in Lombardy, on Lake Como. Mandello del Lario, located on the eastern shore of Lake Como, is emerging as a residential and tourism destination in the Lake Como region. According to some historical and artistic hypotheses, the promontory of Mandello may be recognizable in the background of the landscape depicted in Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
Since 1921, Mandello del Lario has been home to Moto Guzzi—the Italian motorcycle manufacturer, now a subsidiary of Piaggio & Co. SpA. The town each year since 2001 has hosted GMG (a.k.a. Giornata Mondiale Guzzi or Worldwide Guzzi Days).
The Grigna massif is located in Mandello's communal territory.
