Bodio Lomnago is a town and comune located in the province of Varese, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy.
Bodio Lomnago is composed of two villages: Bodio, the biggest one closer to the lake and Lomnago, uphill toward the Monte Rogorella. Both villages have certainly a pre-Roman origin, probably Celtic or Gaulish.
[edit] Main sights
In Bodio:
- S. Crocifisso, a small Romanesque church of the primitive village, recently renovated
- S. Maria church, a Baroque building from 1512
- Villa Beltrami-Gadola, with its distinctive tower
In Lomnago:
- S. Giorgio, an unusual Norman style church built in the 19th century
- Villa Puricelli, with its huge park and the ancient hidden icehouse
[edit] World heritage site
It is home to one or more prehistoric pile-dwelling (or stilt house) settlements that are part of the Prehistoric Pile dwellings around the Alps UNESCO World Heritage Site.[1]
