The Lame del Sesia park extends over an area of approximately 900 hectares along a stretch of almost 8 kilometers of the Sesia river, located between the provinces of Novara and Vercelli. The river environment, enriched by blades, meanders, bodies of water, woods, gravels and sands, constitutes an important natural oasis in stark contrast to the surrounding landscape characterized by rice monoculture.

It is a 57 meter deep well built by the Municipality of Fara in 1913 to allow the collection of chemically drinkable water for the population. The town, in fact, suffered from a shortage of drinking water, and used unsafe wells, such as the pump one currently visible in Via Capour. The creation of the fountain was entrusted to Giuseppe Portigliotti, author of many architectural and decorative elements in concrete, both in Fara and in neighboring towns. The structure consists of a parallelepiped cabin with an opening at the back, refined by four corner pilaster pillars ending in a frame. Above, in correspondence with the corners, four decorative spheres are placed, while in the center stands a small square lantern with four small windows, surmounted by a pagoda roof culminating with a fifth sphere. At the top, like a spire, a ventilation chimney with a terminal spire rises towards the sky. The front of the monument, on Via Battisti, features a small neoclassical basin basin. Above, beyond the modern and ancient taps, there is a writing in relief, in concrete, showing the name of the fountain and the depth of the well. On the frame, however, is the date of creation of the monument. During the fascist period, on the right side of the Source, therefore visible from those descending via Battisti in the direction of Novara, a fasces surrounded by the initials of the Fascist Party was painted. Today it is still visible, faded by time and post-war erasure attempts. Source: Wikipedia

The partisans of the "Volante Loss" brigade, active throughout the Novara area and Valsesia between 1943 and 1945, had their hideouts and bases on the Novara Hills. The Bergamina farmhouse, which stands alone, was a particularly frequented and safe place for them. and hidden in a depression near the Strona. In support of the victims of the war and in thanks for the freedom and peace regained, the statue of the Madonnina was erected in the weeks immediately following April 25, 1945, sculpted in Candoglia marble by the sculptor Malerba of the Fabbrica del Duomo of Milan. The image was solemnly inaugurated on the first Sunday of August 1945.

For reasons of defense of men and products, the parish territory therefore saw the flourishing of castles and fortifications, a strong point of a civil and social nature, where the effective exercise of local power took place. Here the network of fortifications of the parish territory was organized by the Counts of Biandrate for strategic reasons and for better control over the territory, crops, products and men.

Proh was "caput plebs" until 1132, the year in which the transfer to Camodeia, today's Castellazzo Novarese, took place. With a certain probability the relevant territories coincided with the borders of the latter: Camodeia, Briona, Orre, Barengo, Sillavengo, Mandello Vitta, Proh and Agnellengo. The parish church was located in a strategic position and was crossed by the "biandrina road", which allowed internal communication within the possessions of the Counts of Biandrate

Oratory of San Bernardo (14th - 15th century) Country oratory of San Bernardo, also known as della Mora, is located on the ancient road that led from Novara to Valsesia, before the bridge that crosses the Roggia Mora, on the road that leads from the center of Briona to the cemetery. The small oratory is the best complex in Briona and presents a superb example of French-style painting from the second half of the 15th century. The frescoes on the wall behind the altar, the work of an anonymous painter, represent the Madonna del Latte, the Saints Bernard of Mentone, Stefano and Sebastiano, dominated by the Crucifixion. Those of the barrel vault with the twelve prophets and the side walls with various saints are a refined example of late Gothic painting, dated 1 September 1463, they are the work of Giovanni and Luca De Campo. Among the saints on the right wall there is one of the rare representations of San Gaudenzio, the first Bishop of Novara. The depictions of the Blessed Panacea are also notable.

The Proh Castle is located in the Novara hills, a few kilometers from Novara. It was once a place of "leisure and delights", as Francesco Sforza defined it in 1400, and today it is becoming the most important center of the brand new Cultural Park project of the Novara Hills. The UniversiCà Foundation, which already manages the Druogno Museum Center in Val Vigezzo and the Meina Museum on Lake Maggiore, is working on the recovery and enhancement of the Proh Castle, after having received it on loan from the current owners. In addition to the Castle, the Foundation is carrying out interesting restoration works of other nearby structures to create a cultural center of the highest level, in which to offer didactic, educational and knowledge of history and the territory activities. At the moment, the Castle can only be visited externally, because renovations are underway, which began in 2020, but it is already possible to participate in various cultural initiatives and guided excursions to discover the surroundings and the Novara hills.
