Positioned in the Alpine foothills near the Swiss border, Malnate sits about 30 miles north of Milan and just 8 kilometers from Varese. Home to 16,604 residents, it grew into the province's ninth-largest municipality thanks to strategic transport links like the Briantea state road and the FNM railway network, which drove significant interregional immigration.
The town extends beyond its main center to include settlements such as San Salvatore, Folla, and Villa Rossi. Anyone looking to understand the area's background should track down "La Cava." Published by Macchione Editore, this local history digest has been released every December since 1994, consistently chronicling regional facts and curiosities.
