Via G. Galilei, 11, Mortara

This is the Lomellina plain between the Ticino and Sesia rivers, with flat farmland dominated by rice fields, irrigation canals and scattered farmsteads. The Ticino valley and Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino lie within reach to the east. Vigevano is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre centred on Piazza Ducale and the Sforza Castle. The area is known for rice cultivation and for the long flat agricultural landscape of western Lombardy.
