Novarese
A trip to the province of Novara, once described as the “sweet land between two rivers” – the Sesia and the Ticino – is the chance to explore some unusually varied country. There are woods, vineyards, farmlands – especially rice fields which change profoundly according to the season – and this rural landscape is dotted with churches, farms and majestic castles. The real jewels in Novara’s crown, however, are Lake Orta, with the island of San Giulio and its timeless atmosphere, and the Sacro Monte of Orta, acknowledged by Unesco as part of World Heritage.
