Bodio Lomnago is a town 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 Gallic. Main monuments: in Bodio: - S. Crocifisso, little romanic church of the primitive village (recently renovated); - S. Maria church, a baroque masterpiece from 1512; - Villa Beltrami-Gadola with its masted path and distinctive tower; in Lomnago: - S. Giorgio, an unusual Norman style church built in the last century by Mr. Puricelli; - Villa Puricelli with its huge park and the ancient hidden icehouse.
