Paddy fields surround Vercelli in every direction, making it the centre of European rice production. The province accounts for roughly a third of Italy's total rice output, and the flat, irrigated landscape of the Pianura Padana between the Sesia and Po rivers turns bright green in spring before harvest in autumn. Vercelli's population stands at about 45,875, a compact city that has changed little in size over decades.
The Basilica di Sant'Andrea, consecrated in 1227, combines Romanesque and early Gothic elements in a way rarely seen south of the Alps, with a facade of green serpentinite and white marble. Vercelli's university, the Studium, was founded in 1228 and ranks among Europe's oldest, though its successor is the Universita del Piemonte Orientale shared with Novara and Alessandria. The Museo Borgogna holds one of the largest painting collections in Piedmont after Turin's galleries.
Sitting roughly midway between Turin and Milan on the A4, Vercelli draws day-trippers from both cities in under an hour.
