Do you think there is little to see in Vercelli? Nothing could be more wrong! Vercelli is a place rich in art, culture and culinary delights. Let's discover together five things to do if you are planning a trip to Vercelli. And if you were not thinking of visiting it, this article will make you change your mind! Here are some experiences that you absolutely must have :
- Rediscover art in Vercelli: this city boasts an ancient and well-preserved historical center, with splendid civil and sacred monuments, such as the Cathedral of Sant'Eusebio, the Castle of Vercelli and Piazza Cavour. You will also find several museums, such as the Borgogna Museum, a treasure trove of local beauties. In particular, we recommend you visit the Basilica of Sant'Andrea , a majestic example of Italian Gothic architecture.
-You can't forget a stop at the Mondine Museum , where their large dormitory has remained intact, wonderful! Here you can get excited looking at their clothes, their personal effects, their beds, in short, you will immerse yourself in their atmosphere of the past!
- Tasting typical foods is the best way to immerse yourself in the local atmosphere. The Vercelli dish par excellence is panissa , a delicious risotto enriched with beans and salame della duja, a typical Piedmontese sausage.
- You can't go home without buying a bag of rice , one of the most renowned products of the area. The Vercelli countryside is dotted with beautiful rice fields: just think that half of the Italian rice production is concentrated right here! Ask me to organize for you a Visit to the Rice Field , outdoors among the fields to learn about its cultivation, or Visit to the Rice Mill to learn about its industrial processing.
- To end on a high note, we cannot fail to recommend tasting a local wine : for example, Gattinara, a refined DOCG red wine obtained from Nebbiolo grapes. If you are passionate about wine, a visit to the local wineries is a must.
Staying at Amy Casetta di Charme you will have the opportunity to try all these experiences, immersed in an atmosphere of pure peace and complete relaxation .
