11.2 km

It can be reached by following dirt tracks along the Sesia River and it deserves a stop to admire the engineering work of the intersection with the Cavour canal, built to support rice agriculture that originates from the Po in Chivasso and ends in the Ticino at Galliate.

Sesia–Cavour Canal Junction

Highlight • Bridge

The Cavour Canal is a canal mainly used for irrigation which develops completely in the Piedmont region. It originates from the Po near Chivasso, east of Turin, and ends its journey in Ticino in Galliate (province of Novara). This canal is one of the most important in Italy, third in length and first in terms of water flow. Its function, together with other canals, is to supply water to the immense system of rice fields that develops between the Vercelli area, the Novara area and the Lomellina area.

Basilica of Saint Andrew of Vercelli

Highlight • Religious Site

This beautiful church was built in 1220, during a prosperous period. The style is a combination of Northern Gothic (vertical towers and octagonal bell tower) and the typical style from the Po Valley (triangular gable, arches and use of brick). The facade, a colorful whole of stone and marble, is flanked by high towers and has three vaulted porches; The tympanums are probably by sculptor Benedetto Antelami. The very massive bell tower (right) dates from the 15th century. The sober interior with three naves has a choir with wooden inlay and the funerary monument (14th century) of Tomasso Gallo, first abbot of the basilica (second chapel in the right transept). The left aisle leads to the monastery buildings and to the cloister, which offers beautiful views of the complex.

Bridge over the Sesia River

Highlight • Bridge

The Sesia, a majestic river, flows through Vercelli. This waterway has a rich history and plays a crucial role in the landscape of the Piedmont region. The Sesia is surrounded by rice fields that are flooded in summer, and it is a popular destination for canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts and hikers. The Sesia Valley, also known as the “greenest valley in Italy”, attracts countless nature lovers and adventurers every year.

Lame del Sesia Natural Park

Highlight • Natural

The Lame del Sesia park extends over an area of approximately 900 hectares along a stretch of almost 8 kilometers of the Sesia river, located between the provinces of Novara and Vercelli. The river environment, enriched by blades, meanders, bodies of water, woods, gravels and sands, constitutes an important natural oasis in stark contrast to the surrounding landscape characterized by rice monoculture.
