Vigevano is a town and comune in the province of Pavia, Lombardy, northern Italy, which possesses many artistic treasures and runs a huge industrial business. It is at the center of a district called Lomellina, a great rice-growing agricultural centre. But Vigevano is also a city of art, famed for its beautiful historic centre which is among the Borghi più belli d'Italia – the most beautiful villages in Italy. Piazza Ducale is undoubtedly one of the most interesting examples of renaissance urban architecture, and it remains the heart of the town's life.

Chiesa di San Pietro Martire was designed in Lombard Gothic style in fourteenth century by Bartolino da Novara. It has been altered and restored a number of times. In the fifteenth century it was linked to the castle, acting as its chapel. Il was adjacent to the Dominican monastery which was the home of the blessed Matteo Carreri, the patron saint of the town, and which was, in 1696, the place where the French and the Austrians signed the Pace di Vigevano, thus putting an end to six year of war
