The area sits in the eastern Piedmont plain in the Vercelli rice-growing country, with flat farmland, irrigation canals and the Sesia River nearby. The nearest mountains are the Monte Rosa Alps, visible in clear weather but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Vercelli is the main town and has a substantial historic centre with the Basilica of Sant'Andrea, the cathedral, arcaded streets and rail services. The area is known for rice cultivation and risotto production.
