the dome of the parish church of San Germano is the work of Bernardo Vittone, one of the protagonists of the Piedmontese late Baroque.

The ancient village of Olcenengo is surrounded by the slow flow of its irrigation canals and shrouded in winter fog, dense and impenetrable guardian of landscapes with an ancient flavor. Agriculture is the main economic sector of Olcenengo, but in the shadow of the large farms, craft businesses related to the rice sector have developed: mechanical workshops, wooden products, pig farms with their own production of typical sausages, small family-run rice mills . The town hall, the small square with the fountain of the "sgorgia" and the "frog", the church are the most characteristic points of the city. Only a few parts of the castle, dating from 1100, are still used as a farm. The town hall is a compact building rising over two floors. The public fountain in Piazza Paietta has become the symbol of the city: a frog at the edge of the pool sprays a stream of water at a "sgorgia" (blue heron), the typical bird of the rice fields. https://www.viefrancigene.org/it/resource/poi/olcenengo/

the church of the most holy name of Mary belonged to the complex of the Lucedio Abbey. today it is abandoned and it is not possible to enter. on the side there is a window from which I took some photos of the interior. Be very careful in summer because I noticed that on the side of the church there is a large nest of wasps or hornets, I can't tell because it is really very high up. the photos you see were taken at the end of February.

Beautiful, very large. In excellent condition as it is used

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: //www.principatodilucedio.it/it/

Estate of the Principality of Lucedio, a farm that also belonged to Napoleon, with an abbey attached

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.
