Bodio Lomnago
Bodio Lomnago is a comune (municipality) in the province of Varese, in the Italian region of Lombardy.
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.
