Via Bergamasco, 4, Candia Lomellina

This is flat rice-country in the Lomellina, part of the western Po plain between the Po and Sesia river systems. The area around Candia Lomellina is dominated by irrigated fields, canals, farmsteads and straight local roads. The Po runs a few kilometres to the south, with the Parco del Po Piemontese on the opposite bank near Valenza and Casale Monferrato. Mortara is the nearest town of some size in the area, with rail connections and everyday services; Vercelli and Casale Monferrato are also close enough to matter for shopping and administration. The area is known for rice cultivation.
