Bilocale in Bornasco

This is flat Po Valley farmland in the southern Milanese plain, with fields, irrigation channels and scattered farmsteads. The nearest town of size within daily use is Pavia, which has a historic centre, the covered bridge over the Ticino and university services. Milan is the other major urban reference for work and transport, but it does not change the landscape around the village. The area is known for intensive agriculture, especially rice-growing in parts of the Pavia plain.
