Sesto Calende, Historical commune in Province of Varese, Italy

Sesto Calende stands at the southern end of Lake Maggiore where the Ticino River starts its journey toward the Po River, encompassing 25 square kilometers.

The Abbey of San Donato, constructed during the ninth and tenth centuries, contains a notable painting created by Bernardino Zenale in 1503.

The town preserves its medieval character through narrow streets, traditional markets, and religious ceremonies centered around the ancient abbey complex.

The municipality offers direct train connections to Milan and Laveno, while maintaining essential services including medical facilities and educational institutions.

This location previously housed the SIAI-Marchetti aircraft manufacturing facility, which produced military training aircraft until its acquisition by other companies.
