“Gattinara – city of wine”, as the sign that welcomes us as we approach the town says. Wine has, in fact, been one of the major resources of this territory since ancient times. According to some, the cultivation of vines was introduced to this territory by the Gauls, who succeeded the Ligurians and the Celts (the first inhabitants of the territory starting from the 6th century BC); according to others, however, it was introduced by the Romans in the imperial age.

The locality of Sillavengo was already permanently inhabited in Roman times, as evidenced by the finds currently kept at the Civic Museum of Novara and coming from a necropolis: among a group of glass funerary objects, dating back to the 1st century AD, a dove-shaped unguent bottle and a ribbed cup stand out; also noteworthy is a small lamp from the 4th or 5th century AD, of the so-called "African" type. A small Roman altar in granite, on which in the past one could read the dedication Iovi Optimo Maximo, is still found today at the Church of San Giovanni.
