It was probably inhabited since the Bronze Age, as evidenced by some prehistoric findings. Today it is famous for its Carnival, an actual event. Tradition, history, and art for an event whose origins are lost in the mists of time... #tuttitaly
Santhià is a municipality in the Vercelli area, known for its Historic Carnival, dating back to 1328, and recognized nationally by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism.
The festival begins on Epiphany day and lasts until Ash Wednesday, with rites, ancient ceremonies, and masked parades.
The first human settlements in Santhià date back to the Bronze Age. In the Renaissance period, the population suffered severe suffering due to the clashes between the imperial and French troops.
Among the main tourist attractions, the Vettignè Castle, built in the 15th century, and the Modern Art Gallery are worth a visit.
Gastronomy
Among the typical dishes, it is worth savoring the tripe soup, called in the Milanese way: buseca.
