Sangiano

Tucked between the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore and Lombardy’s pre-Alpine foothills, Sangiano is a place whose character is shaped by wooded slopes meeting the broad lake basin. This small comune in the Province of Varese stands on the Italian side of a lake shared with Switzerland, in a setting defined more by upland terrain than by urban bustle. Sangiano is the birthplace of Dario Fo, the Italian playwright awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. In neighbouring Leggiuno, the cliffside Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso is one of the area’s best-known historic sites.
