Nicorvo

Located between Vercelli and Mortara, Nicorvo is a small village immersed in the tranquility of the rice fields. Since 2006, a small group of volunteers has been taking care of pilgrims walking the Via Francigena who request hospitality.

The parish church is dedicated to San Terenziano, the patron saint of the village. Consecrated in 1620, it has five altars, and several fine paintings can be seen, with the best being the one in the choir, which depicts the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary with the Child Jesus and Saints Dominic and Terenziano, Bishop. The painting is attributed to the Lanino school, which is thought to have worked in the area during the time the church was built.

Another church very dear to the people of Nicorvo is the one they call the "Madonnina," dedicated to the Madonna del Patrocinio. Built in 1764, it assumed its current form in 1910 after several restorations.

In the Parish House in the center of the village, 8 beds with mattresses are available (additional cots or mattresses can be added if needed). In the large hallway adjacent to the Parish House, bicycles can be parked sheltered from rain and indoors.
