Busto Arsizio

Busto Arsizio is a city in the region of Lombardy, in northern Italy, 25 km north of Milan in the province of Varese. The economy of Busto Arsizio is mainly based on industry and commerce. Despite repeated claims by Lega Nord and her local allies about a Celtic heritage, recent studies seem to show that the "bustocchi"'s descendants were Ligurians, called ‘wild’ by Plinio, ‘marauders and robbers’ by Livy and ‘unshaven and hairy’ by Pompeo Trago. They were good at working iron and much sought after as mercenary soldiers. A very remote Ligurian influence is perceptible in the local dialect, Bustocco, slightly different from other Western Lombard varieties, according to local expert Luigi Giavini, author of a vocabulary. area code for Busto Arsizio : 331
