Places to see in ( Novara - Italy )
Situated in the Po Plain between the Sesia and Ticino rivers along the border with Lombardy, the city has a beautiful historical center, with fine 19th century palaces and more ancient medieval buildings, but is also an important industrial, agricultural and commercial center, the capital of the second largest province in Piemonte.
Novara is the easternmost province of Piedmont, bordering Lombardy to its east and south. Enclosed by the Ticino and Sesia Rivers, it is mainly flatland in the south, hills in the center, and mountains to the north, whence surges the Monte Mattarone. The Province in part is home to Piedmont's grand lakes: most of Lake Orta and the evocative village of Orta San Giulio; and the southern part of Lake Maggiore, with its renowned tourist resorts of Arona and Castelletto-above-Ticino.
The first stop on any journey through the Province is the provincial capital itself, Novara, surrounded by fortresses and dominated by the Antonelli dome of the Basilica di San Gaudenzio. The old town harmoniously combines Medieval remains, buildings dating back the 15th Century, and neoclassical structures.
The architectural splendors include the Duomo, the Baptistery and the monumental complex of Broletto, housing the Civic Museum and its wealth of local archaeological, historical and artistic remains. TheProvince's centerpiece is the Sacro Monte di Orta, a monumental complex of great religious and artistic importance within a conservation area named by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Among some especially fascinating sites are the village of Orta San Giulio with its Baroque buildings, Renaissance arcades and tranquil streets reflected in the lake, and the Isola di San Giulio that houses one of the most important Romanesque monuments of Piedmont. Another perfect place for holidays is the western shore of Lake Maggiore and its many touristic resorts, for instance Arona, dominated by the famous “San Carlone,” an enormous statue dedicated to San Carlo Borromeo.
The route through the hills of Novara passes through villages with many historic remains: from the Sforza Castle of Galliate to the ancient mill of Bellinzago, and from the Benedictine Abbey of San Nazzaro Sesia to the charming Medieval settlement of Ghemme, whose original walls have been preserved. The country oratories with their beautiful fresceso are well worth visiting, as are the Castles of Solaroli di Briona, Castello Visconti in Castelletto Ticino and the Castle of Cavagliano in Bellinzago Novarese.

Sforza Castle, Milan - Italy - Photo tour
Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco) is in Milan, northern Italy. It was built in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, on the remains of a 14th-century fortification. Later renovated and enlarged, in the 16th and 17th centuries it was one of the largest citadels in Europe. Extensively rebuilt by Luca Beltrami in 1891–1905, it now houses several of the city's museums and art collections.
The Rondanini Pietà is a marble sculpture that Michelangelo worked on from the 1550s until the last days of his life, in 1564. It is housed in the Museum of Rondanini Pietà [1] of Sforza Castle in Milan. This final sculpture revisited the theme of the Virgin Mary mourning over the body of the dead Christ.

4K - Into the Caves of Toirano (SV, IT) - A wonder of nature! - XiaoYi 4K 2 + NIKON DSLR D3300
Filming and photography made on June, 9th 2017. The Caves of “Toirano”, a small village in the province of Savona, county “Liguria”, Italy, date back at millions of years ago. The Caves were discovered in 1950 and human remains from the Palaeolithic age were found inside, therefore these remains can be dated back at least 12340 years ago. Some remains belonging to a number of cave bears were also found (and shown in the video). There are at least 50 caves in total, of which only 11 are actually open to the public. The path open to public inside the caves spans for over 1.3 km, about 0.8 miles. These caves represent one of the most extraordinary and outstanding examples of a wonder of the natural world. If you can, watch on a large screen and till the end!
Videos shot with the XiaoYi 2 in 4K@30fps, photos shot with the NIKON DSLR D3300 at the maximum resolution (6000x4000 FINE). Video editing/mixing/post-production made with MAGIX Video Deluxe 2017 Plus & CyberLink’s PowerDirector 15 Ultimate. Final rendering in 4K UHD 3840@2160 @30fps, at 45Mb/s bitrate.
NOTICE:. Some video clips are not perfect, due to the severe low light conditions found in places inside the caves, therefore these are slightly affected by “noise”: some overall video improvements have been achieved in post, though, through a bit of GAMMA/HDR and color/contrast enhancement/correction, plus video de-noising and application of proper filters in CyberLink’s PowerDirector.
Special thanks go the staff and personnel of the “Caves of Toirano” who kindly permitted the filming and photography during the visit (which are NOT forbidden, BTW, inside the caves but that shall be kept, understandably, to a reasonable level, due to the intrinsic nature of a guided tour and time limits/restrictions that therefore apply in this case): the visit was in fact guided and in group, and lasted about 75 minutes.
