The village after Menaggio is S. Abbondio. Lying at the edge of the lake in the shadow of the Bregagno, it is the mouth of the Val Senagra, a protected area of naturalistic value still inhabited by deer. The village is composed of the districts of Molino, Prada, Marledo, Pezzo and Senagra.
Historically, S. Abbondio followed the vicissitudes of Menaggio, but from 1.928 to 1.957 it was part of the commune of S.Maria Rezzonico.
