Scott McTominay's early opener was cancelled out by Gabriel Strefezza, only for star man Romelu Lukaku and su♏bstitute David Neres to seal the win after the break.
C🍃onte is now the sixth manager to have won each of his first four home games as Napoli head coach in Serie A, after Paolo Iodice, Luis Vinicio, Alberto Bigon, Carlo Ancelotti and ไLuciano Spalletti.
The Italian, however, started his Napoli reign with a shock 3-0 defeat to Hellas Verona on the opening day, but his team have since gone seven games unbeaten, ꧂scoring 19 goals during that run.
Conte acknowledged that his side may not deserve to be at the top of t♓he table, but f🐈elt quietly optimistic about his players' progression during the early stages of his tenure.
"I don't know if this is currently a Napoli that deserves to be in first place in the standings,🐼 but we are first and that is a fact," Con꧋te said to DAZN.
"If sꦏomeone had told me this three months ago, it would have been difficult to believe.
"We're growing in terms of temperament, and i👍n our ability to adapt—playing good football, but also willing to get our hands dirty when we need to.
"That's a great sign, and we have to emb🌼race it fully.&q🎀uot;
But the eꦜncounter against Como was far from comfortable for Conte's side, with the visitors reg🦩istering 11 shots compared to Napoli's nine, while Cesc Fabregas' men also ended the contest with 59.3% possession.
Napoli,🧔 though, created the better chances, ending the encounter with an expected g🅠oals (xG) total of 2.02 from their six efforts on target, with Lukaku continuing to flourish under Conte's stewardship.
McTominay's opening goal after 26 seconds was the third-quickest for Napoli in the three-points-per-game era, while the former Manchester United midfielder also became the first Scottish player to score for Gli A🦄zzurri in Serie A.
&q🌠uot;We started well in the first half, scoring a great goal, the result of our hard work," Conte said.
"The🌠n we changed things tactically in the second half, and they were no longerꦡ in the game.
"We lost too many 💧duels, but that's part of the process of rebuil﷽ding confidence and self-esteem."
Conte also showered praise on the home supporters inside the Stadio 🀅Diego Armando Maradona.
"Playing in Naples, at the Maradona, with a full stadium means that the players can really feel the🌼 crowd's emoওtions," he said.
"If you make mistakes, you can feeꦏl the disappointment, and that can chip away at your confidence.
"Napoli has a deep passion for football. 🌟We try to feed that passion by giving ou𝓰r all, like we did today. In the second half, we improved from every point of view."
