The River Po runs throughout the area, alongside the gentle hills creating a superlative landscape. Looking around, the view is enhanced by fields and woody areas which alternate with splendid green meadows and the river and hills which, in some points, seem to almost merge.
The hills of the River Po are a mix of waterside areas of high environmental quality and higher land full of historic elements. Natural reserves such as that of the Bosco del Vaj (Vaj Woods) and the Parco Fluviale del Po (the Po Riverside Park) blend with the castles, abbeys, and the archaeological excavations of the Roman city of Industry.
