Villa unifamiliare in Pizzale

This is flat Po Valley country on the right bank of the Po, with the Staffora valley opening not far to the south-west and the first Oltrepò Pavese hills beyond the plain. The Po is the main river of the area, and the landscape within reach is mainly fields, embankments, irrigation channels and scattered hamlets. The nearest town of size is Voghera, which has the usual rail and road services, shops and schools; Pavia is the larger historic city in the wider area but beyond the immediate landscape. The area is known for agriculture on the plain, with the wine country of the Oltrepò Pavese starting farther south.
