Breme

Overview

In Bremen, red reigns, impossible not to think so. Red manifests itself in different but equally typical ways. There is the characteristic red brick red of the Town Hall and the important Benedictine order abbey that stands out among the houses of the small village, a short distance from the confluence of the River Sesia into the waters of the Po. The powerful monastic order of the Bremetensi built this convent in its present form between the 16th and 17th centuries, naming it after St. Peter: a beautiful cloister and a high bell tower welcome the traveller in a context of quietness and beauty

For gourmets, red is identified in a particular local gastronomic speciality: the red onion of Breme. Tradition has it that its cultivation began among the gardens of the Bremen monks. This vegetable is recognised as De.Co. (municipal denomination of origin) and is better known as sigulla in the local dialect. The red onion of Breme is large and very tasty: at the turn of May and June, a large (and not-to-be-missed) food festival brings this indigenous product to the table along with many other Lomellina specialities.
