THE TOWN OF GUARDABOSONE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The town, established around the year 1000, has managed to preserve the typical period architecture as a result of skilful restoration work. Walls, enclosed courtyards, ancient buildings and winding alleys make walking through the medieval centre<\/mark><\/strong> of the town a pleasant experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parish church is dedicated to St. Agatha<\/mark><\/strong> and officially obtained parish autonomy in 1626, when it detached from Crevacuore. The Mazzietti <\/mark><\/strong>sundial, located on the north wall of the church and created in 1880 by Pietro Mazzietti, is of considerable importance. The sundial takes the form of a double clock, where the upper part is a clock that marks the hours according to the canons prevalent in the 19th century, while the lower part is a sundial that marks true noon and mean noon on the meridian of Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A curious detail: Guardabosone is the smallest municipality in the province of Vercelli, and counts about 340 inhabitants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its architecture, what is surprising about the small village is the presence of numerous interesting museums that have earned Guardabosone the appellation of living museum village.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museums to visit include the Museum of Ancient Trades<\/a><\/strong>, set up in a farmhouse; the Natural Science Museum<\/a><\/strong>, which houses numerous fossils, minerals and specimens of stuffed animals; the Museum of Sacred Art<\/strong> and a beautiful botanical garden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A path also starts from the Oratorio dei Torni and leads to the Church of the Madonna di Loreto<\/strong>, located in a panoramic position on the hill of Luppia. Visiting the ancient medieval village of Guardabosone is a great way to spend a day of art, nature and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
