Prestino (Lombard: Prestin, Italian pronunciation: [preʃˈtiːŋ]) is a district of Como, Italy, of about 3,000 inhabitants, about 2 km west of that city.

History

Prestino is the site of the discovery of one of the most important inscriptions in the ancient and scantily attested Lepontic language, the Prestino Stone. This is a dedication pictured here, the text of which reads:

uvamakozis plialeθu uvltiauiopos ariuonepos sitis tetu

Probably: "Uvamakozis dedicated (literally 'gave') to Plialethos [these] uvltiaviop-s, arivonep-s [and] sits ("sacred mounds"? if from *sēdns (accusative plural; compare Old Irish sēdēs and Latin se:de:)."[1][2][3]
