    The principality of Lucedio is a place where history and mystery blend among the rice fields of the Vercelli area. In the 12th century the Marquis Rainero del Monferrato donated this area to the Cistercian monks, who founded the Abbey in 1123. The monks reclaimed the land and cultivated rice, helping to spread this cultivation. However, the history of the Principality of Lucedio is also marked by dark events: it is said that in 1864, an evil presence was evoked in a cemetery near the abbey and took possession of the minds of the monks. A mystical place of incredible beauty.

        It was founded in 1123 by Cistercian monks from Burgundy who reclaimed the territory, being the first to introduce the cultivation of rice into Italy in the mid-1400s. The Principality of Lucedio can be visited by the public, according to the calendar indicated on the "Visit Lucedio" https: //principatodilucedio.it/it
