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.
Main sights
In Bodio:
- San Crocifisso, a small Romanesque church of the primitive village, recently renovated
