The Boesio is a ‘torrent’—or intermittent stream—of the province of Varese in north Italy’s Lombardy. It rises near Cuveglio and runs through the Valcuvia valley in an east-west direction before entering Lake Maggiore at Laveno-Mombello.

The river’s course takes it through the communes of Cuveglio, Cuvio, Casalzuigno, Azzio, Brenta, Gemonio, Cittiglio and Laveno-Mombello. The state road SS 394 follows in part the course of the river.

Fish found in the river include Salmonidae and Cyprinidae, in particular brown trout and vairone (Leuciscus souffia). The waters of the river are polluted.
