Busto Arsizio, Industrial commune in Province of Varese, Italy

Located 35 kilometers north of Milan, Busto Arsizio stands at 226 meters above sea level as the fifth largest municipality in Lombardy by population.

The textile industry transformation during the 19th century earned Busto Arsizio the reference as the Manchester of Italy, marking its emergence as a manufacturing center.

The Renaissance-style Church of Santa Maria di Piazza, designed by Donato Bramante between 1515 and 1523, represents the architectural heritage of the period.

The railway system connects Busto Arsizio directly to Milan and other major northern Italian cities, making it a strategic location for business and commuting.

Local winter celebrations feature the burning of Giöbia, transforming from traditional family events into organized public festivities throughout the districts.
