Fara Novarese: Archaeology, Fresco and Regional Landscapes

Roman Tombs and Finds

The archaeological record of Fara Novarese includes Roman tombs with ceramics, glass vessels, silver and gold rings, as well as coins from the Roman era. Ceramics and glass vessels are vessel finds; silver and gold rings are pieces of jewellery, and coins are monetary objects from the Roman era. For those interested in culture, the subject can be explored through tombs, vessels, rings and coins.

The Archaeological Objects in Novara

The objects found during excavations in Fara Novarese are located in the Archaeological Department of the municipal museums of Novara. Fara Novarese is therefore the site of the excavations, while Novara denotes the location of the museum department. For the spatial planning of an archaeological focus, these two geographical references remain separate: the find site and the museum department are located in different places.

Madonna dei Campi and the 1628 Fresco

The Chiesa della Beata Vergine Addolorata bears the name “Madonna dei Campi”. The church contains a large fresco from 1628. It depicts the Madonna, the Christ Child, the Three Magi and Saint Dominic. The two names of the church refer to the same sacred site. For the appreciation of sacred art, the church interior, dating and sequence of figures come together here.

Cultural Sites in the Surrounding Region

The wider regional surroundings of Fara Novarese include the Museo “Come Eravamo”, Castello degli Avogadro, Castello di Buronzo and Palazzo Bellini. For those interested in culture who wish to consider regional sites in addition to Fara Novarese, these four places can be viewed separately from the archaeological finds and the fresco. The regional perspective remains focused on the wider surroundings of Fara Novarese.

Caves and Beaches in the Wider Surrounding Area

The wider regional surroundings of Fara Novarese also include the Grotte di Ara, the Montefenera Caves, Spiaggia dei Caravalle and Spiaggia del Sasso Cavallazzo. The Grotte di Ara and the Montefenera Caves stand alongside Spiaggia dei Caravalle and Spiaggia del Sasso Cavallazzo. Anyone planning landscape-related activities around Fara Novarese in addition to history and church art can consider these four places separately from the cultural attractions.

San Damiano and Fara DOC

The patron saint festival of Fara Novarese is dedicated to San Damiano and takes place on the first Sunday in July. Fara DOC is among the listed wines. For a calendar relating to Fara Novarese, the first Sunday in July is the specific date of this festival.

Granite Urn at the Chiesa di San Pietro e San Paolo al Cimitero

A granite urn is located at the Chiesa di San Pietro e San Paolo al Cimitero. For personal cultural planning, the granite urn remains associated with this church and cemetery site. It therefore stands as an individual object alongside the Roman tombs and the fresco of the Chiesa della Beata Vergine Addolorata.
