Top Universities in Vercelli for International Students

The Province of Vercelli lies in northeastern Piedmont, extending along the Sesia River from Monte Rosa to the Po River, through the Baragge and flatlands southeast of the provincial capital. The countryside is varied and intriguing, from the summits of the Alpine massif, the indisputable king of ski localities; to the gentle slopes of the Gattinara Hills, covered by vines and woods and crisscrossed by rivers; and the vast plains. A spectacular panorama of rice paddies characterizes Vercelli, one of Europe’s leading rice producers; rows of poplar trees divide the plain symmetrically, submerged for most of the year and reflecting the sky's many colors and hues. There are many reserves here, including the Parco Naturale Lame del Sesia, with its wetlands and heron nests; the Po River Park (the Alessandrino-Vercellese tract), perfect for bird watching; and the Parco Naturale Alta Valsesia, an Alpine park that extends all the way to Mount Rosa. The whole territory is replete with art and history, as can be seen in the architecture of the old town of Vercelli, while Alagna and other northern hamlets still preserve their Walser traditions in a fairytale-like atmosphere. The Gattinara Hills and flatlands also possess a remarkable historical heritage of castles, picturesque Medieval villages, and religious sites lying along the Via Francigena.
