Via Balzola, 9, Morano sul Po

This is the flat rice-growing and cereal plain of the lower Po basin, between the Po and Sesia river systems, with canals, drainage ditches and scattered farmsteads around the villages. The Po runs a few kilometres to the south. Casale Monferrato is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services. The area is known for rice cultivation in the wider Vercelli-Casale plain.
