Canzo

Located at the foot of Cornizzolo and Corni di Canzo mountains, this municipality borders Lake Segrino and extends across an elevation of 402 meters.

The settlement traces its origins to Celtic inhabitants around the 5th century BC, with the name deriving from Latin Cantius, indicating edge positioning.

The annual BIOFERA festival in September attracts over 10,000 visitors to celebrate organic farming methods and present Lombard agricultural traditions.

Two railway stations connect Canzo to Milan, making it accessible for travelers interested in exploring the natural reserves and mountain trails.

The local Canzés dialect preserves ancient linguistic elements of the Lombard language, maintaining connections to Celtic and Latin influences.
