Varese

Varese is a city and comune in north-western Lombardy, northern Italy, 55 kilometres north of Milan. It is the capital of the Province of Varese. The hinterland or urban part of the metropolis is called Varesotto. The metropolis of Varese lies at the feet of Sacro Monte di Varese, part of the Campo dei Fiori mountain range, that hosts an astronomical observatory, in addition to the Prealpino Geophysical Centre.
