VERCELLI, A little-known Piedmontese city!
![307573185_5964056636957751_8409016835715737848_n.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/popcorn88/246FxFSmtqpoxqYTrF2CaHHYT4Tc4FMqu2gtBKpqkodAyiA54SxPHHUyE2EPdX4HxBqDo.jpg)


*Vercelli is a city of almost 50,000 inhabitants, located in the eastern part of Piedmont right next to the Sesia river, but it is little known compared to other cities in Piedmont, even though it has a history that really comes from afar. In fact, it seems that the city was founded in Roman times and its name derives from Latin.*


*I had the good fortune to visit it a while ago, and I discovered that it hides many interesting things in terms of tourism, and it is just a pity that these are not publicised.*

*Throughout history, Vercelli has developed a lot thanks to the fact that there are many rice crops near the city, and let's say that this important food-related industry has developed the city, but another thing has made this city important is the fact that Vercelli is located on the Via Francigena and was a stop that could not be missed.*

*In fact, for those who do not know, the Via Francigena, was an important link for the Christian faithful that connected France with Rome.
Since there was an important stop here in Vercelli, a truly impressive cathedral was built, the basilica of Sant'Andrea.*

*The basilica was founded in 1219 thanks to an important local cardinal, and became a resting place for pilgrims, and we can say that it still is today fortunately.
We can say with certainty that it is the first form of Italian Gothic architecture.*

*Honestly, I was very impressed by this church comma I would never have imagined that in this unknown city there would be such a beautiful church, but this is probably due to the fact that it was a church run for the reason that the Via Francigena passed through here.*

*It is very characteristic as a church due to the fact that it has two towers on the sides, internally as you can see from the photos it is very austere.*

*In the park near the basilica, while I was taking my lunch break, I noticed a monument and saw that it was dedicated to the fallen of the Great War, unfortunately in those years many people who died at the front had come from this very city, Vercelli.*

*I also took some photos of the back part of the basilica, and I must say that I also liked this part of the church very much. Unfortunately, like many churches in Italy, this one also needs a lot of restoration work, in fact the population has launched a fundraising campaign precisely because in recent years many cracks had created inside*

**I hope you enjoyed this article of mine on Vercelli and especially on this important basilica of Sant'Andrea, I look forward to seeing you next time.**
