Experience in Vercelli, Italy by Mirko

What is it like to live in Vercelli? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

It's a quite small city in northern Italy. It's a very calm place. I recommend it if you are not looking for a chaotic city to enjoy the experience. The city is nice and has a rich historical background, in particular the centre.
