Rivoltella: Sesia Morta, culture and Italian rice

Rivoltella is a hamlet of Rosasco and brings together different facets of the northern Italian landscape within a small area. Sesia Morta represents an important natural habitat, while the Chiesa di Santa Rosalia adds a historical and cultural dimension. In addition, there is the artisanal rice processing at Podere Commenda, as well as several museums, gardens, parks and palaces in the surrounding area. Rivoltella therefore offers points of interest for culture enthusiasts, nature observation and travel planning with a regional connection.

The landscape around Sesia Morta

Sesia Morta is an oxbow lake located in the Lomellina. This refers to an abandoned river meander, which is also considered an important natural habitat. The landscape can therefore be viewed not only as a river area, but also from the perspective of biodiversity. A walk through the meanders of the Sesia River had been planned for Rivoltella in order to observe an oxbow lake and its biodiversity.

Piscina La Fallosa and getting oriented locally

Piscina La Fallosa is located in Rivoltella, a hamlet of Rosasco. In 2026, it is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., except in bad weather. If you include this stop in your plans, the weather reservation is therefore directly relevant to your timing. From Vercelli, access to Piscina La Fallosa leads via Palestro towards Rivoltella di Rosasco.

The Museo Archeologico Civico L. Bruzza and the Museo Borgogna are also located in the surroundings of Rivoltella. Both are museums and complement the landscape experience with a cultural visit. The Giardini Don Secondo Pollo and Giardini Don Giovanni Brevi gardens, as well as Parco Pietro Camana and Parco Iqbal Masih, are also nearby. For your day planning, you can therefore distinguish between museum visits and green spaces without treating the individual places as one combined site.

Culture among churches, palaces and museums

In the hamlet of Rivoltella, part of Rosasco, the Chiesa di Santa Rosalia is a historical and cultural attraction. In the wider surroundings, the Palazzo di Città and Palazzo Vecchio are also worth noting; both are palaces. Together with the two museums, they create a cultural setting that includes different types of buildings and collection venues. The individual destinations remain separate places: the church is located in Rivoltella, while the museums and palaces are classified as being in the surroundings of Rivoltella.
