Archaeological site in the municipality of Besnate, the so-called lagozza is a small but charming lake surrounded by a small swamp. This peat bog gave birth, in 1877, to an ancient pile-dwelling and from there a civilization was discovered, called precisely the Lagozza Civilization, which in all likelihood lived here about 5,000 years ago.

The "Rile-Tenore-Olona" (RTO) is a Local Park of Supra-municipal Interest (PLIS) established in 2006 between eight founding municipalities and subsequently joined by four others in the province of Varese. Covering over 25 square kilometers, the park embraces valley floors, hillsides and plains, taking its name from the main waterways: Rile, Tenore and Olona. The management of the PLIS has been entrusted to the Pineta di Appiano Gentile e Tradate regional park since 2019, in line with the reorganization of the Lombardy protected area management system. Castiglione Olona assumes the role of Convention Head in the management of the PLIS.

Look at the hole! Let's hope they restore everything soon

Lagozza in prehistoric times was a large swamp with shallow water. There is evidence of settlements dating back to the 3rd millennium BC.

Leaving the Villoresi canal and heading towards Legnano, you pass close to this lake area.

Foppa is a wetland near the Olona river that flooded naturally. Here the water that irrigated the meadows once accumulated. Today the Foppa is fed with river water. Foppa, the nearby meadows and woods are ideal habitats for fauna. Since 2009 the municipality of San Vittore Olona in collaboration with the Olona Viva association, the Olona River Consortium and the Parco dei Mulini has restored the wetland area from "La Foppa". Foppa is fed with water from the Olona river through the Bellona canal. Today this body of water and the surrounding green areas, a forest and a meadow are home to a rich biodiversity of fauna and flora. In this area LIPU has spotted 90 different species of birds. A small wetland area like Foppa is of fundamental importance for migratory species that travel thousands of kilometers twice a year to return to breed or to winter; and sometimes they stop to feed in this very place. Not just birds. At Foppa there are also fish and other animals that feed on the eggs and larvae of aquatic insects; that's why there are so few mosquitoes!

Small lake recovered from a former quarry and part of the Parco degli Aironi. The park extends over 45 hectares of greenery with about 14 thousand tree species and a remarkable variety of environments ranging from a large lake basin to dense woods and fenced areas for grazing animals such as deer, fallow deer and mouflon. In the park there is a picnic area and a refreshment bar.
