Villa a schiera in Pieve Albignola

This is flat rice-and-cereal country in the Lomellina, on the western edge of the Po plain. The Agogna and Terdoppio streams run through the wider area, and the Po is to the south near Sannazzaro and Mezzana Bigli. Mortara is the nearest town of size, with rail links and a small historic centre; Vigevano, with the Piazza Ducale and Sforza Castle, is farther but still within the wider area for services. The area is known for rice fields, irrigation canals and low, dispersed farming settlements.
