Inside a triangle formed by three important rivers – Ticino on east side, Po on south side and Agogna on west side – Castello d'Agogna, former Castrum (Fortress) Goniae, is a XVII century village with a castle inside which French and Spanish armies fighting in Northern Italy stopped for a rest. On the other side of village a more modern centre is born, with shops and villas all along the route. Castello d'Agogna is calm and well repaired, while enjoying the healthy climatic influence of Valle d'Aosta with her skiing resort and the Casino of Saint-Vincent, less of 100 km (60 miles) from here. The village rises in the heart of Lomellina, home of rice cultivation and country fairs all along the year. It's not far away from Milan (45 km or 27 miles), 20 km (12 miles) from the beautiful Monferrato, well known for his wines which many think are the best in Italy, 30 km (18 miles) from the ancient and academic town of Pavia, from Vercelli and Alessandria.
