Discover Inarzo, a small municipality in the province of Varese

Hello everyone! Today I want to talk to you about Inarzo, a municipality in the province of Varese, in the Lombardy region. With just over one thousand inhabitants, Inarzo is a small town immersed in nature and tranquility, ideal for those who love life away from the city.

The territory of Inarzo

Inarzo is located at an altitude of about 282 meters above sea level, between Lake Varese and a chain of hills that go from the hamlet of Casale Litta to Azzate. The municipality borders the towns of Cazzago Brabbia, Bodio Lomnago, Bernate (hamlet of Casale Litta), Varano Borghi, Ternate and Biandronno.

The territory of Inarzo covers an area of ​​approximately 258 hectares, half of which is made up of meadows and fields and the other half is occupied by the Palude Brabbia, a wetland area of ​​great natural interest, and a small wooded area. Among the waterways present in the municipal area, the most important is the Canale Brabbia, which is part of the main hydrographic network.

The climate of Inarzo is characterized by rather high rainfall values, with large variations from year to year. On average, rainfall is more frequent between April and June and between September and November, while the driest months are July, August, and December-February. Temperatures are quite mild, thanks to the location of the municipality near Lake Maggiore.
