Famous everywhere because of its wines and cuisine, Asti must be discovered also for its beautiful and well preserved historic centre.
The past relives every year with the Palio, the most ancient horse race of Italy (every third Sunday of September) and with the Festival of the Sagre d’la Duja: the architectural heritage of the city is the frame of the two events.
The strategic position of the city was one of the thing which contributed to make Asti a big power in the Medieval time, a period which left tracks in the towers of the city, in the “caseforti”, in the gothic cathedral, in the collegiate Church of San Secondo, the crypt of Sant’Anastasio, in the castles, in the fortresses and in the defensive villages.
In the city there are moreover visible influences of Christianity: you can visit the Romanesque parishes by following a suggestive itinerary that, other than be plunged in a marvellous landscape i twill bring you to the famous Abbey of Vezzolano.
Asti is a human scale city: you can walk calmly among Baroque palaces and nine-hundred-century squares of the historic centre, full of shops and restaurants in which you can taste typical dishes of the area: from the bagna cauda, to agnolotti which change the filling moving from the town hall to town hall till the desserts that you can accompany with nothing but the precious local sparkling wines. not to be missed there are also the numerous museums, for example the paleontological one, the archaeological and the civic museum, a visit to the saints’ territories and a relaxing walk in the green of the natural special paleontological reserve of Valleandona-Valle Botto will pleseantly surprise you.
Going through the Vineyard of the high Monferrato you can then reach the city of Canelli,the capital of Asti Spumante famous all over the world. Here you can’t miss a visit to the stage historic wine cellars better known as “underground cathedrals”, unique in Italy with suggestive environment fully dug in tuff.
