Omegna, Lakeside commune in Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Italy
Located at the northernmost point of Lake Orta, Omegna spans 30 square kilometers and features a river flowing through its center lined with colorful buildings.
First documented in 1221, Omegna transformed from an ancient settlement into a major manufacturing center for household appliances during the 19th century industrial revolution.
The town maintains the Rodari Museum and hosts regular cultural events, including a traditional Thursday morning market along the lakeside boulevard.
Visitors can reach Omegna through daily ferry services connecting Lake Orta towns, bus routes from Novara and Arona, or train connections from Novara.
The Nigoglia River in Omegna flows northward from Lake Orta, making it one of the few Italian rivers that runs from south to north.
