Porto Ceresio belongs to the province of Varese on Lake Lugano, and was made famous as an internationally renowned center of craftsmanship and art. Very inhabited and busy city, but worth a passing visit.

The toponym of Brusino Arsizio seems to derive from the Celtic Brux (thorn bush) and Arx (tower) so the name should mean "Tower of the brambles"; Carlo Salvioni compares this name to that of Busto Arsizio with reference to burning (Italian arsiccio) and burning and in fact the municipal coat of arms reproduces a burning tower.
