Vigevano, Renaissance town in Province of Pavia, Italy.
The Piazza Ducale forms a grand rectangular plaza surrounded by covered arcades with painted decorations and renaissance architecture on three sides.
In 1328, Vigevano came under Milanese control when the town surrendered to Azzone Visconti, marking the beginning of strong political connections with Milan.
The Castello Sforzesco houses multiple museums displaying collections of regional artifacts, archaeological findings, and historical documents from the Lombardy region.
The central train station connects Vigevano to Milan with regular services every 30 minutes, making it accessible for both commuters and visitors.
The city developed into a major footwear manufacturing center during World War I, establishing itself as a primary shoe production hub in Italy.
