Province of Novara

The Province of Novara is an administrative district in Piedmont stretching between Milan and Turin, comprising numerous smaller municipalities. The territory combines urban centers with agricultural areas and hilly terrain.

The settlement traces back to Roman times, when the area served as an important point along trade routes. Later, proximity to larger cities shaped its development as a connecting zone between Milan and Turin.

The Colline Novaresi wine region produces red wines from local grape varieties that thrive in the rolling hills of the area. Visitors find vineyards and wineries that maintain traditional production methods.

The province is crossed by highways and rail connections linking travelers between larger cities and toward Switzerland. There are multiple stations and entry points for visitors exploring different parts.

Rice paddies define the flatter terrain and make the area one of northern Italy's primary rice-growing zones. During the off-season, these fields often shimmer with a silver tone and create a distinctive pattern across the landscape.
