Cadegliano-Viconago, the Luino valleys near Switzerland

Cadegliano-Viconago is a hill and lower-mountain municipality in the north of the province of Varese, in the Luino area, close to the Swiss border and Lake Lugano. Its land is woods, meadows and small hamlets, including the two villages that give the municipality its name. Many residents work across the border in Canton Ticino, while Varese and Luino are where people go for offices and services.

The municipality has gained a good number of residents in recent years: 2,177 in 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics office, up 16.6% from 1,867 in 2011. The average age is 44.4, below 46.5 for the province, and foreign nationals make up 8.0%. Incomes declared in Italy are well below the provincial average.

A car is essential. The public transport timetables we use show no stops in the municipality, and local services are limited (2 schools and 3 bars and restaurants). Roads wind up and down through the woods, and in winter the way a house faces and the access road make a real difference. The town hall stands at around four hundred metres and the climate is zone E.

Earthquakes are a minor concern: all 136 municipalities in the province of Varese are in seismic zone 4, and expected ground acceleration is about 0.039 g. On the wooded slopes the report checks the official landslide and flood maps for the address, and finds the plot on the Revenue Agency cadastral maps.
