A lost place, like the ones you see in books. Whenever I see something like this, I always think it's a shame that the old mills are no longer in use.

Yes Carlo, there are locks along the path of the stream to regulate the water to the rice fields.

The bumps are tiny hills, generally sandy, which until a few decades ago characterized the landscape of our Lomelline countryside. Most of these very modest reliefs have been leveled to make way for poplar groves and rice fields and the only testimony that remains of them is, in many cases, the ups and downs of the country roads which gives those who walk them the amazement of finding some meters above the level of the cultivated countryside. In the area of the bumps, the alternation of hollows and ridges is visible which testifies to how the surface of our plain has been shaped by the continuous changes in the paths of the rivers, by the incessant work of streams, as well as by the erosion caused by atmospheric agents. Those who pass through Lomellina, after having crossed long stretches of very flat countryside, are pleasantly surprised to discover, in the heart of these centers, small hills flanked by old houses or ancient churches overlooking gently sloping churchyards.

Campalestro is part of the municipality of Velezzo Lomellina, in the province of Pavia, in the Lombardy region. Campalestro was included in the list of lands of the Principality of Pavia, registered for tax purposes by Ambrogio Opizzone, as belonging to Lomellina. Following the new census of the provinces of 15 September 1775 Campalestro is still confirmed in Lomellina. In the territorial subdivision of April 28, 1806, Campalestro falls within the Department of Agogna. Campalestro is today a hamlet of Vellezzo. Places out of this world and full of history.

Olevano di Lomellina is a town in the province of Pavia and is located about 800 m from the left bank of the Agogna river in a flat area in the center of Lomellina. In Olevano there is also the Museum of art and peasant tradition. The museum is located in Via Cesare Battisti 11. The museum is open Saturday (14-18) and Sunday (9-12 and 14.30-18.30) By reservation it is possible to visit the Museum also during the weekdays. On the occasion of the Olevano Lomellina festival, it was traditional to exhibit peasant tools and old agricultural machinery. Since 1993 a group of enthusiasts has worked to make this exhibition permanent. In 2018 the Museum had a new exhibition that focused, in particular, on rice.

The history of the Castle can be summarized as follows: built towards the end of the 1300s by order of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, it was strengthened towards the end of the 1400s by the Sforza family who, in the meantime, had conquered power. The Sforza family added other parts to the main body, which remained so until the sixteenth century, a time when the Castle, by the Gattinara family, was transformed into a comfortable residence, which has not undergone substantial changes to this day. Typical quadrilateral layout, with moat, internal courtyard and four corner towers. The castle is the main attraction of the village and currently houses the "Lomellina Study and Documentation Center", the "Sartirana Arte Foundation", with the museums of collections of silver, jewels, objects of peasant culture, art graphics. Both the Study Center and the Foundation organize numerous exhibitions and cultural events at an international level. In 1462-1463 under the Sforza, the Castle underwent military transformations of expansion and consolidation of the round tower, which was dealt with by the famous architect Bartolomeo Fioravanti, the same that Ivan II, Tsar of Russia, called to his court to the construction of the Kremlin defenses. Sartirana and its castle then passed to the Spaniards with Mercurino Arborio (cardinal) until his death in 1530. The castle belonged to the Arborio dynasty until 1934, and then to the Duke of Aosta Amedeo di Savoia.

Fabrizio are there any locks along the way to regulate the flow of water?

The bridge of the Agogna stream which is located near Campalestro is very important because it connects the western Lomellina to the eastern one. In the early nineteenth century the stream gave its name to one of the Departments of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy.
