Belgioioso or Belgiojoso (Italian: [beldʒoˈjoːzo, -oːso]; Lombard: Belgios [belˈdʒuːs] or Belgiojos [ˌbɛldʒuˈjuːs]) is a town and comune in the Province of Pavia, region of Lombardy (northern Italy), with a population of 6,233 (2017).[3]

It is 12 km east of the city of Pavia, between the Olona River and the Po River. Due to its geographical location, Belgioioso has become one of the southern suburbs of the city of Milan.
