Lomellina

Lomellina is the name associated with the territory of the  Pianura Padana (Po river valley) situated in the southwestern corner of the region of Lombardy. It includes 57 comuni (municipalities) with a total population of about 215.000 inhabitants, covering an area of some 1290 km2. The name derives from the fact that during Roman times it was an ethnic community around the municipality of Lomello.
Three major rivers border the boundaries of Lomellina: the river Po to the south, the river Ticino to the east, and to the west the river Sesia, while to the north is an imaginary line linking the river Sesia south of Vercelli, to the river Ticino south of Novara.
In addition, the territory is traversed by two streams; the Agogna and Terdoppio as well as two branches of themanmade Canale Cavour. This abundance of water is a source of agricultural wealth in Lomellina.
The area is a major rice producer, thanks to one of Italy’s most modern irrigation system. Rice and dairy production, as well as the footwearindustry, are the area’s primary economic activities.
