Km 5,2 / Elevation change - 3
Casalrosso is an hamlet of Lignana. Already by 1348, documents record the nearby Ecclesia de casali Rubeo – now the Church of Santissimo Salvatore – which underwent several renovations up to 1815, from which time it has remained unchanged: it still has an interesting 17th century pulpit.
Here we are finally at Larizzate, at one time a grangia and an outpost for the defence of the walls around Vercelli: still now are clearly visible the cylindrical towers and parts of a castle; the church is dedicated to Santissima Vergine Assunta. From here comes a document, dated 17 August 1493 which, for the first time, reported on the rice cultivation in the Vercelli territory.
