Bodio Lomnago is composed of two villages: Bodio, the biggest one closer to the lake and Lomnago, uphill toward the Monte Rogorella. Both villages have certainly a pre-Roman origin, probably Celtic or Gaulish.

Main sights

In Bodio:

  • San Crocifisso, a small Romanesque church of the primitive village, recently renovated
  • Santa Maria church, a Baroque building from 1512
  • Villa Beltrami-Gadola, with its distinctive tower

In Lomnago:

  • San Giorgio, an unusual Norman-style church built in the 19th century
  • Villa Puricelli, with its huge park and the ancient hidden icehouse

World heritage site

It is home to one or more prehistoric pile-dwelling (or stilt house) settlements that are part of the Prehistoric Pile dwellings around the Alps UNESCO World Heritage Site.[3]
