Sesia

The Sesia is a river of Piedmont in north-western Italy, about 138 km long, rising on the glaciers of Monte Rosa and flowing south through the Valsesia past Vercelli to join the Po. Its plain, irrigated by canals, is a major rice-growing area, and in the Middle Ages it lay between the territories of Vercelli and Novara.
