Dorno

Few towns in Lombardy have a history as closely tied to the rice-growing agriculture of Lomellina as Dorno. Set on the broad Po Valley plain, south-west of Pavia and near the Terdoppio stream, it belongs to a landscape shaped by fields, irrigation channels and long, level roads. Lomellina is one of Italy’s principal rice districts, and seasonal changes in its paddies give the countryside a different character from the nearby Alpine and lake regions. Dorno is a small working town rather than a resort, with the parish church of San Bartolomeo at its centre and everyday life still connected to the rural plain. Its position also places it between the Ticino River and the Po, two of northern Italy’s defining waterways. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different corners of Lomellina.
