Description
In a residential area but a few steps from the lake and the center, an independent villa with large private land is proposed. The elegant building, built in the 1960s, is on two floors and comprises, on the first floor, an entrance hall, large living room, kitchen, dining room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a storage room-walk-in closet. On the ground floor there are two other bedrooms with bathroom, cellar and boiler room. The property is completed with a double garage and a planted garden, partly terraced, of about 1800 square meters. Furthermore, adjacent to the villa, there is an annex on two levels with an area of about 90 square meters plus various accessories, which can be purchased separately at the price of € 150,000.00. The ancient settlement of the area is proven by archaeological finds. of the hamlet of Cireggio where, in the locality of San Bernardo, clay and stone fragments of the late Bronze and Iron Age were found, and of Mount Zuoli, where a protohistoric altar and a possible ritual slide have been identified. proposed by the historian Antonio Ruscon, would like Lake Orta populated by the Osci (name that the local scholars had derived from "Oscela", considered the ancient name of Ossola) of Iberian origin, from whose dialect it would derive (from umacia = lake) the toponym Humana-Umenia-Vemenia. Another legend is the one that derives the name of Vemania from "Vae moenia" (Woe to you or walls!) Curse that Julius Caesar would have hurled against the formidable walls of the city. These and other hypotheses (such as that on the fabulous people of the Usii), are to be relegated to the myths created by a certain erudition, richer in love of country than in a critical spirit.
The Middle Ages and the Modern Age
With the convention of '11 August 1221 the nobles of Crusinallo give Omegna to the Novara people. The text reads: "Crusinallo - loco et villa seu burgo Vemeniœ - Castrum Desideratum (the Omegna tower) - the Strona - Durantinus de ripa - Gravalona - Anagueglia (Nigoglia) - locus Bagnella - Ciserim - Cocarna superior - Cocarna inferior (not Coquarna as in Bescapè) - Cranna Gattugno - Bulio - Germagno - Noseto - Laurelia - Lizogno - Garnarolo. " Omegna was invested on March 22, 1413 by Filippo Maria Visconti in Francesco Barbavara and passed as an inheritance first to the Visconti Borromeo then to the Borromeo Arese family in 1714 and remained in the family until the advent of the French Jacobins.
The Novara area was also crossed by the libertarian and republican wave following the French Revolution. In 1796 a plot by the Pallanzese Azari failed, who intended to raise the region to make it an autonomous department. In 1798 the French general Léotaud landed at Pallanza with a group of armed men, occupied Cannobio and part of Ossola; but he ended up defeated by the Savoyard troops of the Marquis d'Oncieux between Gravellona and Ornavasso.
