Placed in a hill belt with the Ticino River to the west and the Arno Brook to the east, it is part of the Lombard Park of the Ticino River.

The Lagozza and Lagozzetta are very important marsh basins where finds of pile dwelling settlements dating from the first half of the 4th millennium B.C. have been discovered. The pile dwelling of Lagozza is one of the most interesting known to us. Amongst the industrial objects found in the Lagozza pile dwelling there were polished stone hatchets, hammers, polishers of hard stone, knife-blades, flint scrapers, and seven or eight arrows with transverse cutting edges, a form rare in Italy. What mainly distinguishes the Lagozza pile dwelling, however, is the absence of the bones, teeth, or horns of animals, and also of fish-hooks, harpoons, or nets, so that we must conclude that the inhabitants did not hunt or fish, that they did not breed domestic animals, and were probably vegetarians.
