About Pellino Race Moon&Stars CUP
The Pellino Race Moon&Stars CUP in Pella
The Pellino Race Moon&Stars CUP is a nautical event held on the waters of Lake Orta, in the territory of the Municipality of Pella, in the province of Novara, in the heart of the Piedmont lake district. The event is officially announced by the Municipality of Pella as a notice to mariners, signaling that during the race, the affected stretch of the lake is reserved for the competition and participating vessels.
The name and the connection to the territory
The event's name weaves together two elements deeply linked to Pella. The Pellino is the stream that, through sedimentary deposits accumulated over time, shaped the small peninsula where the village stands, overlooking the lake opposite the famous Island of San Giulio. The reference to Moon&Stars evokes the evening and nocturnal atmosphere in which the event comes to life, when the lake's waters are painted with the reflections of the sky and the promenade lighting.
Pella, pearl of Lake Orta
Pella is one of the most picturesque villages on Lake Orta, appreciated for its small harbor, its lakeside promenade, and the view of the Island of San Giulio. The town boasts a solid tradition of water sports, with an active local sailing club and a summer calendar packed with regattas, swimming crossings, and water-based events. The Pellino Race Moon&Stars CUP fits into this context, contributing to the liveliness of Pella's summer season.
A summer of events on the lake
The event is part of the dense program of initiatives that the Municipality of Pella and local associations offer during the summer months. During the same period, the local calendar includes other lake-related appointments, such as swimming crossings and sailing regattas, which make Pella a reference point for water sports enthusiasts on Lake Orta.
