Borgosesia

Borgosesia is a municipality in Piedmont where the Sesia River runs through rolling terrain and shapes the local landscape. The town combines historic structures with natural surroundings that define the character of the valley.

Settlement began in ancient times when local populations established a community in this valley. The Roman name Seso reflects the importance of the location during Roman control of the area.

The Archaeological and Paleontological Museum Carlo Conti displays artifacts from the area and tells stories of ancient settlement. The Sanctuary of Sant'Anna reflects the religious traditions that shaped the community over centuries.

The area is easily accessible from larger cities and lies within a region full of natural attractions worth exploring. Plan visits during daylight hours to best experience both the town and the surrounding landscape on foot.

The Natural Park of Monte Fenera holds geological formations and cave settlements that reveal hints of prehistoric life. These sites show how people lived in this landscape thousands of years before the Romans arrived.
