Frascarolo, a Village to Discover in Lomellina

Frascarolo lies in Lomellina, in the province of Pavia, in a historically strategic position on the border with Piedmont, amid the rice fields that characterise the Lomellina landscape. Its landmark is the Visconti Castle, built in the fourteenth century, rebuilt by the Sforza family in the early sixteenth century and restored in a stately style in the nineteenth century. Today the castle houses the Museo del Contadino, a country life museum devoted to the tools and implements of rural life in times past.

The Halloween Party is the ideal opportunity to discover the village and to fit the evening into a wider itinerary through the castles and villages of Lomellina, such as Sartirana Lomellina and Pieve del Cairo. If you would like to visit the Museo del Contadino, it is advisable to check opening days and hours in advance.
