Ridolla

Ridolla is a town and former municipality located in the province of Varese in the Lombardy region of Italy. It is situated in the northern part of Italy, close to the Swiss border. Historically, Ridolla was an independent comune before being merged with other municipalities.

The area's geography is characterized by rolling hills and proximity to pre-Alpine landscapes. Like many towns in Lombardy, Ridolla has roots stretching back centuries, with evidence of settlement and agricultural activity present throughout its history. The economy of the region has traditionally been linked to agriculture and local crafts, though it has seen diversification over time with the growth of nearby industrial and commercial centers.

In 2014, Ridolla was officially incorporated into the larger municipality of Cadrezzate. This administrative change aimed to streamline services and create a more efficient local government structure for the combined area. Despite the administrative merger, the distinct identity and historical character of Ridolla are often preserved within the memory of its residents and in the local landscape. The former territory of Ridolla continues to be part of the wider province of Varese, contributing to its demographic and economic profile.
