Basilica of Saint Andrew of Vercelli

Highlight • Religious Site

This beautiful church was built in 1220, during a prosperous period. The style is a combination of Northern Gothic (vertical towers and octagonal bell tower) and the typical style from the Po Valley (triangular gable, arches and use of brick). The facade, a colorful whole of stone and marble, is flanked by high towers and has three vaulted porches; The tympanums are probably by sculptor Benedetto Antelami. The very massive bell tower (right) dates from the 15th century. The sober interior with three naves has a choir with wooden inlay and the funerary monument (14th century) of Tomasso Gallo, first abbot of the basilica (second chapel in the right transept). The left aisle leads to the monastery buildings and to the cloister, which offers beautiful views of the complex.

Bridge over the Sesia River

Highlight • Bridge

The Sesia, a majestic river, flows through Vercelli. This waterway has a rich history and plays a crucial role in the landscape of the Piedmont region. The Sesia is surrounded by rice fields that are flooded in summer, and it is a popular destination for canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts and hikers. The Sesia Valley, also known as the “greenest valley in Italy”, attracts countless nature lovers and adventurers every year.

Church of Saints Nazarius and Celsus (Quinto V.se VC)

Highlight • Religious Site

Dating back to around the year 1000, it is in Romanesque-Gothic style and has a green area in front of it with benches, excellent for a break not close to the provincial road.
A passage in these parts, when you are in the area, is a must.

Junction of via Quinto/via Levita (Olcenengo VC)

Highlight • Cycleway

Interesting crossroads because from here you meet the "old road" for Quinto (mostly unpaved and very nice to walk) and the paved one for Casanova Elvo.

Olcenengo

Highlight • Settlement

The ancient village of Olcenengo is surrounded by the slow flow of its irrigation canals and shrouded in winter fog, dense and impenetrable guardian of landscapes with an ancient flavor.

Agriculture is the main economic sector of Olcenengo, but in the shadow of the large farms, craft businesses related to the rice sector have developed: mechanical workshops, wooden products, pig farms with their own production of typical sausages, small family-run rice mills .

The town hall, the small square with the fountain of the "sgorgia" and the "frog", the church are the most characteristic points of the city. Only a few parts of the castle, dating from 1100, are still used as a farm. The town hall is a compact building rising over two floors. The public fountain in Piazza Paietta has become the symbol of the city: a frog at the edge of the pool sprays a stream of water at a "sgorgia" (blue heron), the typical bird of the rice fields. viefrancigene.org/it/resource/poi/olcenengo
