The<\/strong> 1000 Miglia in the City of the Antonellian Dome<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n

Novara is a city rich in tradition, history, and masterpieces of art, created little by little, in a succession of stratifications and influences, that have made it a lively cultural centre, an ideal stop for a visit throughout the year. The true soul of the city emerges in its historic centre, which revolves around the Basilica of San Gaudenzio<\/strong> and that daring structure that dominates everything and which everyone looks up to: the Dome<\/strong>, designed and built during the 19th century by Alessandro Antonelli<\/strong>, architect of the Mole of Torino; its 121 metres draw the skyline of the Province\u2019s capital, giving it that dear and familiar shape in which the people of Novara recognise themselves. The 16th-century basilica dedicated to the patron saint Gaudentius<\/strong>, a precious casket of Baroque art, is worth a visit; the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria<\/strong>, with its characteristic colonnade, and the early Christian Baptistery<\/strong>, the city\u2019s oldest monument; the Broletto Monumental Complex<\/strong>, once a place of public and civic life, now houses the Giannoni Modern Art Collection; the Visconteo Sforzesco Castle<\/strong>, which hosts high-level events and exhibitions; and the Coccia<\/strong> and Faraggiana Theatres<\/strong>, the musical and artistic hearts of the city. First place on the Novara menu goes to paniscia, a \u201crisotto\u201d with lard, vegetables and salame della duja, followed by gorgonzola, of which Novara is the capital. And to close on a sweet note, the world-famous Biscottini di Novara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
