It is
facing the lake of Orta (extreme north), where it becomes again the  river Strona, as
it wants to witness the strangeness of its effluent, that is the unique "pre-alpian"
lake going northward. This is the centre of the great industrial area; in fact there is the
Museum of arts applied to industry. The greater Italian industrial home designer Alessi,
a metal turner, established its company here  in 1921. He came from Strona valley.
It is the
romanic Voemenia, a medieval fortified village, that became free comune and then dominium of
Visconti, and Borromeo (see the marvellous collegiata of S. Ambrogio).
Excellent also sport and seaside plants.
