Verderio is a comune in the province of Lecco, in Lombardy, northern Italy. It was formed in 2014 from the comuni of Verderio Superiore and Verderio Inferiore.[2]

Formerly, The "upper" and "lower" Verderio were divided in two Comune from the preexisting Verderio in 1905.

The name is believed to come from latinum Viridarium, meaning "garden". Traces of ancient Roman presence were found, including remains of the defensive walls.
