Besano is a small municipality located in the province of Varese, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. The town is particularly notable for its significant paleontological importance, as it is home to the famous Besano-Monte San Giorgio fossil site.

This area, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site shared with Switzerland, has yielded exceptionally well-preserved Middle Triassic fossils (around 240 million years old), including marine reptiles, fish, and various invertebrates. These discoveries have made substantial contributions to our understanding of marine life during the Triassic period.

The town, nestled in the Pre-Alpine hills, maintains its historical character while serving as an important site for scientific research and cultural heritage.
