In the centre there is the amphitheatre of the Po Valley beyond the Ticino river, with the profiles of the near Oleggio, and in sunny days, we can also see the dome of San Gaudenzio in Novara.<\/p>\n<p>it is not only about the view: from the small square <strong>walking paths lead to the Po Valley. <\/strong>It is also about <strong>the natural landscape <\/strong>of the \u201clight-blue river\u201d, so-called because its water is always clean, <strong>and its breath-taking landscapes, built by human intelligence, <\/strong>that here stratified a middle-age channel (Naviglio Grande), one from the 19<sup>th<\/sup> Century (Canale Villoresi), one from the 20<sup>th <\/sup>Century (the channel that power the electric station)<\/p>\n<p>From the small square, that at the end of the 90s became pedestrian and was equipped with benches, a pedestrian stair begins, in alternative we can walk to the <strong>Dogana Austroungarica (Austro-Hungarian Customs House): <\/strong>after passing along the wooded pedestrian path and the plain where the famous <strong>Tornavento battle <\/strong>was fought, we get to the old customs house that today is the centre of the Ticino National Park and from here we can go down to the river. On the opposite side we go into the large woodland and the moorland, crossed by the <strong>by now famous<\/strong> <strong><u>via Gaggio, <\/u><\/strong>an unpaved but in good condition street, where a genuine volunteer historical museum was opened, thank to the efforts of <strong>Ambrogio Milani,<\/strong> a tireless volunteer from <strong>Lonate Pozzolo. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the microscopic centre of Tornavento there are the <strong>historical \u201cBar dell\u2019Altipiano\u201d, <\/strong>already represented in postcards, the <strong>circolo Sant\u2019Eugeni<\/strong><strong>o,<\/strong> founded by the inhabitants themselves, <strong>and a more recent bar and restaurants. <\/strong>During the year there are always people in the small square, sometimes at midday, it is possible to hear people speaking English or German or other foreign languages: the Malpensa airport is really near and lots of people take the opportunity to have a lunch break in this quiet location. In summer evenings, it becomes a really crowded place, as far as the small portico of the <strong>Sant\u2019Eugenio church<\/strong>, that is already the parish of the village, and is really loved by the inhabitants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Monday 18th March there will be the final vote of the contest for the most beautiful small village in Varese\u2019s territory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1026,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[2579,14307,93804,89987,2487,82043],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tornavento: a zero-metres village<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From Monday 18th March there will be the final vote of the contest for the most beautiful small village in Varese\u2019s territory\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"it_IT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tornavento: a zero-metres village\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"From Monday 18th March there will be the final vote of the contest for the most beautiful small village in Varese\u2019s territory\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2019\/03\/tornavento-zero-metres-village\/804566\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"VareseNews\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/varesenews\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"Ssml Varese\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-03-21T10:28:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"SSML\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@SSML_Varese\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@varesenews\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Scritto da\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"SSML\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Tempo di lettura stimato\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minuti\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2019\/03\/tornavento-zero-metres-village\/804566\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2019\/03\/tornavento-zero-metres-village\/804566\/\",\"name\":\"Tornavento: a zero-metres village\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-03-21T10:28:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-03-21T10:28:29+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/#\/schema\/person\/84973f107a9e585e0a65364be10e8dc4\"},\"description\":\"From Monday 18th March there will be the final vote of the contest for the most beautiful small village in Varese\u2019s territory\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2019\/03\/tornavento-zero-metres-village\/804566\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"it-IT\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2019\/03\/tornavento-zero-metres-village\/804566\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/2019\/03\/tornavento-zero-metres-village\/804566\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.varesenews.it\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Tornavento: a zero-metres village\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/\",\"name\":\"VareseNews\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"it-IT\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/#\/schema\/person\/84973f107a9e585e0a65364be10e8dc4\",\"name\":\"SSML\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"it-IT\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/SSML-Round.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/staging.varesenews.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/SSML-Round.png\",\"caption\":\"SSML\"},\"description\":\"If you have a passion for languages then the \u201cScienze della Mediazione Linguistica\u201d degree will start you on your path towards becoming a translator or an interpreter.
