Garbagna Novarese is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Novara in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 80 kilometres (50 mi) northeast of Turin and about 7 kilometres (4 mi) southeast of Novara. Notable the Palazzo Caroelli.
Garbagna Novarese borders the following municipalities: Nibbiola, Novara, Sozzago, Terdobbiate, and Trecate.
It was mentioned for the first time in various documents dating back to between 840 and 1150, as Carpania. By the linguistic phenomena of lenition [3] and first-type anaphonesis, [4] since 1150 also names Garbania and Garbagna began to be used, while since 1367 only the latter has remained. [5] [6]
On 31 May 1863 it was officially renamed from Garbagna to Garbagna Novarese, [7] to distinguish it from Garbagna d'Alessandria. Curiously, in some official documents it is repeatedly called Garbagno. [8] [9]
