Madonna della Bozzola, sanctuary on the Via Francigena

The town hall was built in 1857 to a design by Pietro Troncone; it was to be completed in 1862 to a design by Alessandro Antonelli, but only a few granite columns were added. Until 1850 the municipality was located in the Palazzo Pretorio located in Piazza Silvabella. A town in the province of Pavia famous for its rice market. Mortara is located in the central-northern Lomellina, between the Agogna and the Terdoppio, among the rice fields, not far from Milan, Novara, Vercelli and Pavia. It is now an important centre for the rice market and is famous for its goose dishes.

The Santuario Madonna della Bozzola is a diocesan reference point for pastoral care, located in Tromello, province of Pavia, region of Lombardy. This sanctuary, dedicated to Our Lady of the Bozzola, is a place of encounter, reflection and spiritual growth. The shrine has its origins in a miraculous apparition of Maria Benedetta in 1465. Maria invited the faithful to build a chapel and later a church in her honor on this site. The church, founded at the beginning of the 16th century, has a cotto facade with frescoes in the lunettes of the portals. Inside is a painting of Our Lady of the Bozzola. The shrine was restored in 1983.

For pilgrims by bike: https://www.viefrancigene.org/it/resource/statictrack/da-mortara-a-pavia-tappa-06-in-bici/ From the Abbey of Sant'Albino, founded in the fifth century and then rebuilt, now a stop for pilgrims passing through Mortara, a beautiful path through cultivated fields and farms, irrigation canals and unexpected patches of trees leads us to Tromello, a stop on the route from Sigeric. Along the way we meet the sanctuary of Madonna delle Bozzole and pass some characteristic agricultural villages. Pay attention to the traffic along the SP 185. After Zerbolò we arrive at the confluence with the Ticino, which we bypass in some parts. The view of the river, combined with a varied presence of fauna, offers an evocative spectacle. Outside the cities it is not possible to get water, the only refreshment points are in Tromello and Zerbolò.

The Naviglio Langosco (in Lombard: Nivili Langosch) is a canal fed by the Ticino River. The purpose of this canal is to irrigate the fields in the Novarese and Lomellina regions. It was realized in the 17th century on the initiative of Count Guido Langosco. The count ordered the construction of the canal, which was designed by engineer Pietro Antonio Barca, and work began in 1613 and was completed in 1665. The canal begins in the province of Novara, north of the Ponte di Turbigo, and flows then through the areas of Galliate, Romentino, Trecate, and Cerano. It then leaves Piedmont and enters Lombardy, where it flows past Cassolnovo, Vigevano (where it crosses the Terdoppio), and Gambolò. It ends near Cascina Montagione, in the municipality of Tromello. 🏞️🇮🇹
