“Borgo,” they used to call it. A quaint name for a place swallowed by its larger sibling, Pessano. Bornago. Today, you stand on what was once its very edge, the line drawn on maps from 1809 whispering of a time when this village stood apart. Bornago, a name echoing with a deeper past. Perhaps it belonged to a man named Burnus, a landowner in an era when Celts roamed these lands. Or maybe, just maybe, it speaks of fire, of a “bornësc” that swept through and gave birth to a new beginning, leaving Pessano to rise from the ashes. Bornago. A whisper of what was, absorbed into the fabric of a town that grew around it, its story a hidden thread in the tapestry of Pessano con Bornago.
