Solbiate Olona is a municipality in the Province of Varese, Lombardy, located in the picturesque Olona Valley, between Busto Arsizio and Tradate, approximately 35 kilometres from Milan. With a population of just over 8,000, it retains the character of a peaceful, well-served town, surrounded by greenery yet close to major road and rail connections.

The town has very ancient origins: the name “Solbiate” probably dates back to the time of the Insubrian Celts, before Roman rule. The first documents mentioning the village date from the 11th century. Over the centuries, Solbiate Olona experienced the events of the Duchy of Milan, later came under Austrian rule, and ultimately became part of the Kingdom of Italy. Its history is also linked to the presence of important noble families, such as the Terzaghi family. Today, Solbiate Olona is especially appreciated for its quality of life. The area offers numerous green spaces, cycle and pedestrian paths along the Olona Valley, and nature trails forming part of the Medio Olona Park, ideal for walks and outdoor activities. The town is also known for the prestigious Le Robinie Golf Club and the nearby hotel complex, which attract visitors from abroad as well. The historic centre retains an intimate atmosphere, with the parish church dedicated to Saints Gervasius and Protasius, well-maintained squares, and buildings that tell the story of the community. Throughout the year, patronal celebrations, cultural events, and activities involving local associations are organised, keeping residents’ sense of belonging alive.

Thanks to its strategic location, Solbiate Olona represents a balance between nature, history, and economic development: a people-oriented town, well connected to Lombardy’s main centres, yet able to preserve an authentic identity and a strong bond with its territory.
