Italy - Location of a movie scene set on Lake Como

I thought I'd ask our crack traveling team, someone here is bound to know.

This is about A Month by the Lake with Vanessa Redgrave.

I've visited Lake Como three times. I've seen this movie probably a dozen.

I still can't picture exactly where the final scene is - the one where Miss Bentley and the Colonel are slow dancing. It isn't Como itself, I don't think, because the mountains in the scene look fairly steep and I don't see other "Como waterfront" points of reference. It looks less developed than Lake Como in general. Granted you only see the view from the promenade, looking off into the Lake...

I wonder if it's Bellagio, looking north - but you'd see Varenna if that is the case.

To see that scene - a large promenade, overlooking a broad length of lake and mountains in the distance - it seems that you would have to be looking north to get that view, and I can't picture where it is, exactly.

I kind of wonder if that final scene is Lake Garda...

Thanks for any thoughts!

From what I can see it may have been Villa Balbianello in Lenno. We have a photo of it as a screensaver

Hi

Much of the movie is set at Villa Balbianello, but not the final scene. I have visited that Villa several times, too.
