    In the past, the ice used to cool the fish was kept in these historic cisterns.

    These iceboxes were each time filled with slabs of ice that detached from the lake in winter; during the colder season, Lake Varese froze almost completely, and in these periods the fishermen of Cazzago harpooned the slabs of ice cut with the ax and dragged them into their boats.

    These blocks of ice were then wrapped in blankets and transported by wagons inside these buildings, where the ice was kept for even a whole year. In these iceboxes it was possible to keep fish caught in the lake for a long time. (from "Varese Land of Tourism")
