Discovering Bellinzago Novarese

Bellinzago Novarese - Bellinzago Novarese is a Piedmontese town of 9500 inhabitants. The town consists of the hamlets of Cavagliano and Dulzago and is located in a strategic area not far from Lake Maggiore, Malpensa Airport and the Ticino Valley Park. The heart of the city is Piazza Sant'Anna where the current Town Hall, the ancient Municipal Palace and the Church of Sant'Anna are located.

Noteworthy is also the Parish Church of San Clemente built by the architect Alessandro Antonelli on the remains of another church. Antonelli's work is also the Infantile Kindergarten where children are still cared for today by the monastic order of the Daughters of Sant'Anna. Another important building in Bellinzago is the Vandoni Oratory which hosts numerous educational and religious events. Just outside the city is the Vecchio Mulino once used to produce flour and has remained almost unchanged over time. In the hamlet of Cavagliano, on the other hand, there is the historic Castle and the splendid Church of San Vito. Not far from here is the Church of the Madonna della Neve dating back to the 18th century. Then we arrive at Dulzago where there is the Abbey, a building of great historical value. Typical dish is the Paniscia which is consumed in abundance during the many events that take place throughout the year in the town. Other culinary products of the area are Salame della Duja, Mortadella di Fegato, Rice and Gorgonzola.
