Lagozza, Archaeological site in Besnate, Italy.
The Lagozza archaeological site contains remains of pile dwellings situated in what was once a marsh area at the edge of Besnate.
The site was first discovered in 1877 when Count Ottavio Cornaggia Castiglioni donated artifacts from his property to the Como Civic Museum.
Excavations at Lagozza have revealed numerous intact artifacts that demonstrate daily life and construction techniques of prehistoric settlements from 3800-3400 BCE.
Recent surveys in the area have confirmed the presence of archaeological deposits, including posts and collapse deposits across more than half of the tested zones.
Due to lack of recent documentation, this pile dwelling settlement was not included in the UNESCO Alpine Pile Dwellings site listing.
