From the old Pasqu\u00e9, now Piazza Parrocchiale, starts the old Via di Mezzo, today called Via Mario Greppi after a victim of the Liberation shot in 1945 (and previously Via Vittorio Emanuele II).
\nThe road runs parallel to the lake shore, crossing the historic town centre; it corresponds to the ancient Mediolanum Verbannus, the road that connected Milan and the lake in the Roman period.
\nThe most recent excavations, conducted in 2005-2006, unearthed the doorsteps of ancient houses and other remains of the Roman town at only 20-30 centimetres beneath the present surface. They date to no later than the 1st century BC.
\nThe first road that joins Via Greppi is Via Marconi, which Angerans used to call Rungi\u00f9n since in the past beside it ran the Roggione, a watercourse that when it rained became a veritable torrent (it now passes underground). At the corner with Via Marconi stands the Palazzo del Pretorio, today home of the Archaeological Museum.
\nOn Via Greppi there are buildings that played important roles in local history.<\/p>\n\n
