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.

Abbey of San Nazzaro

Highlight • Religious Site

The Abbey of San Nazzaro Sesia is a complex made up of structures from different historical periods. The oldest parts are the bell tower, built as a watchtower, and the two wings of the narthex preceding the façade, which are what remains of the quadriportico built around 1150, shortly after the abbey itself was founded (1040). The cuts resulting from the demolition of the other two sides are still clearly visible today. The narthex is almost entirely made up of stones from the Sesia river arranged in a herringbone pattern to increase its solidity. The mortar itself was obtained from materials found on site, near the Sesia river. It was probably originally used as a “hospitalis”, that is, it served as a place of rest and refreshment for travellers and pilgrims, who we know were very numerous in medieval times, and it also had the function of hosting catechumens.

Abbey of San Nazzaro

Highlight • Religious Site

Ancient monastery of Benedictine origin, today the complex can still be partially visited. The frescoes remaining in the church and cloister are very interesting. Ask the Municipality of San Nazzaro as you can also have guided tours

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.

Confluence of the Cavour Canal and the Sesia River

Highlight • River

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.
