History and land

Ducal square in Vigevano

During the XV century, the territory of Vigevano (Lombardia region, near Milan) was ruled by the Sforza family (hence the name of Oca Sforzesca).

One of the main activities in the territory of Vigevano during the XV century was the breeding of white geese, meant for the production of various types of goose salami. Since then goose meat production has become part of the local tradition. It is steeped in our culture.
