The Varesina is a rare breed of domestic sheep from the province of Varese in Lombardy, in northern Italy.
[1][2] It originates from the area of Biandronno and Travedona; members of the breed have been identified in the comuni of Albizzate and Arcisate.
The Varesina is closely related to the Bergamasca and the Biellese, but is smaller.
[2] It is one of the forty-two autochthonous local sheep breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders.
