Cardano al Campo

Cardano al Campo is a commune in the Province of Varese in Lombardy, located at an elevation of about 237 meters. The settlement sits on gently rolling farmland with a mix of residential areas and open countryside surrounding its center.

The name comes from the Latin word cardo, referring to thistles that grew on local fields in ancient times. This connection to early agriculture shows how the land shaped settlement here.

The Church of Sant'Anastasio Martire, constructed in the 16th century, stands as the primary religious structure within the municipality.

The village sits only about 2 kilometers from Milan-Malpensa Airport, making it easily reachable for travelers arriving by air. Its proximity to a major transport hub means good connections for getting around the region.
