Brenta is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Varese, in the Italian region of Lombardy. It is located in the northwestern part of the region, about 60 kilometres (37 mi) northwest of Milan and about 15 kilometres (9 mi) northwest of Varese, the provincial capital.
As a comune, Brenta is the basic unit of local government in Italy, with its own municipal administration. Its position in the Province of Varese places it in an area of Lombardy that extends toward the Italian Lakes and the foothills of the Alps, though the source material does not describe the town's specific elevation, economy, or landmarks.
The name Brenta is shared with several other places in Italy, including the Brenta river and the Brenta valley in the Veneto and Trentino regions. This Brenta is distinct from those, being a small municipality in Lombardy's Varese province rather than a river or Alpine valley.
