and free municipality since 1095

founded by the RomansAsti

Historical factsThe first settlements in the territory of Asti go back to the Neolithic Age but the town was proclaimed in the 2nd century B.C. during the Roman influence which gave Asti and the surrounding area a “municipium” with the name of Hasta in 122 B.C.. Loca-ted in a favourable geographic position on the route of the consular road Via Fulvia, which became the Decumanus Maximus of the roman town (today’s Corso Alfieri), it became, after the fall of the Empire, a Longobard Duchy and later, a Frankish County. The alternating European political events of the 10th century highlighted a distance from the Italian scene and in particular from the Asti territory. This gave the Bishops more power, also in political terms. It was in fact the Bishop Oddone III, on 28th May 1095, who invested Asti, its consuls, the castle and the Annone village with all the pertinent rights. This gave birth to the free municipality of Asti, which, thanks to its mercantile vocations and to its strategic position, became one of the richest and most powerful municipalities of North Italy, producing its own money and main- taining commercial relations with every part of Europe. The richest and most powerful

and free municipality since 1095

founded by the Romans

Asti families had pawnshops in Germany, Flanders, Holland and beautiful palaces in town ornamented with high towers. Following the battles between the families for the economic and political predominance, Asti loses its autonomy in the 14th century by finishing in the hands of the Angiò branch (1315) of the Visconti family, then of the Orleans and finally in the 16th century of the Savoia family. In the following two centuries it was besieged and occupied by the Spanish and French to return to the Savoia family after the Restoration period when its history became one with Italy.Today Asti is a town of 76.000 inhabitants, with a large and well conserved histo-rical centre with pleasant walks through narrow medieval streets and 19th century squares with medieval towers, baroque churches and a fascinating gothic cathe-dral. A town which every year during the Palio race (the oldest in Italy), relives the medieval air and during which time the excellence of the oenogastronomical scene mingles beautifully with the simplicity of the agricultural traditions of the surrounding countryside.

a town of towers...Asti

06

1 TORRE ROSSACorso Alfieri - 1st century AD The only testimony of Roman Asti which has been conserved in full height. It was part of one of the town gates which per-mitted entrance from the west of the “Decumanus maximus”. There was probably an identical tower opposite which would have given the entrance an aspect similar to the palatine doors of Turin. The lower part, with its 16 sided polygon, dates back to the 1st century AD, the upper cylindrical part with its alter-nate sandstone and cotto strips, typical of the Romanesque presence in Asti, is an addition of the 12th century when the tower was once again used as a bell tower, firstly for the lost Church of Saint Secondo and then for the Baroque church of Saint Catherine.

2 TORRE TROIANAPiazza Medici - 13th century This tower is one of Asti’s main symbols. It is 44 metres high and the highest medieval tower in Piedmont. It features three elegant double lancet windows with arched decorations in cotto and sandstone. Originally it was located alongside the homes of the Troja family and reached a height of 36 metres at the embattlement. It was raised in the 15th century when the tower, upon extinction of the family, was sold to the Mu-nicipality who placed its civic clock and bronze bell on it. It is the only tower which can be visited in the town: the internal wood staircase has 199 steps up to the battlement floor. From here the view over the town and surrounding hills is splendid. Open to visitors from April to October, on Saturdays and Sun-days 10-13/16-19. In other periods please phone 0141 399489-466

3 TORRE COMENTINACorner of Corso Alfieri - Piazza Romasecond half of the 13th centuryIt is 38,55 metres high (the limit established by the Asti muni-cipality was 40 metres) and with the Trojan Tower it is the only tower to have maintained its original height and a series of single lancet windows on its four sides and below the battle- ment a double line of arches in cotto and sandstone. For many years it was known as the “Torre di San Bernardino” from the name of the adjacent church (now non longer ex- isting) for which it was a bell tower. The tower was used for centuries as an emplacement for the Palio horse competition, which was run along the Contrada Maestra. It is next to the Medici palace in neo-Gothic style (1898).

07

4 TORRE DE REGIBUSCorner of Corso Alfieri -Via Roero13th centuryThis is the only example of an octagonal tower. It was low- ered to its present height of 27 metres in the 1700s. Original-ly it was three floors higher with string courses in sandstone, each with four double lancet windows similar to those of the Trojan tower and finished with a Ghibelline battlement. The tower was part of a complex defence system thanks to the presence of the other two towers. One of these, now lowered to the height of the surrounding roofs is still visible on the corner between Corso Alfieri and Via Roero. This area is still today referred to as the corner of the three kings.

5 TORRE GUTTUARIPiazza Statuto - first half of the 13th centuryThe construction has a square base, still today lived in, and is one of the oldest medieval towers of the town. Lowered in the 1700s, in 1898 it was decorated with a Ghibelline battlement in a swallow tail fashion and fitted with rectangular windows. It housed the tobacconist shop that is still present today on the ground floor. The function of the towers was certainly for defence but the main reason they were built was to show the power and riches of the families who commissioned them to the extent that, when the municipality established a limit for their height, the families simply made the bases of the towers larger.

6 TORRE PONTECorner of Via Q.Sella - Via San Martinoend of the 13th century Clearly visible from Corso Alfieri and inserted in the Gazelli Palace, despite being cut off in the 18th century, it still shows all its grandeur with its 8 metres per side, thick walls and few openings except for the single opening on the south side and some slots. The only decorations are the geometric motives obtained with the insertion of ferrous bricks. Opposite the tower are the remains of the fortified house with tower belon-ging to the powerful Roero di Cortanze family; the tower was lowered to the palace level but still shows the elegant single lancet window with decorations in cotto and sandstone.

Other towers to be seen: Torre Solaro (Via Gio-bert), Torre Natta (Via Natta), Torre Roero di Monteu (Via Roe-ro), Torri di Palazzo Bunei (Vescovado, Via Carducci).

1 CATHEDRALPiazza CattedraleDedicated to Our Lady, it was built from the end of the 1200s to the middle of 1300s on a previously existing building site (of which only the mosaic flooring still remains in the presbytery). The Cathedral is the most beautiful and stately example of gothic architecture in Piedmont. The south side is the most spectacular with its Roman- esque bell tower (1266), the tall single lancet window with alternate kerbing in cotto and sandstone, the elegant tiburio and the Pelletta tower (14th century) which is internally accessible, with frescoes of the 18th century upon the commission of the then Bishop Milliavac-ca. Most of the works of art, from the baptismal fonts of the 8th cen-tury and 1229. In a niche we find a terracotta group dating to 1502. The chapels display the plates of Gandofino d’Asti, a well known renaissance artist of Asti active from the end of the 15th century until 1530. All the wood carvings are very precious and come from the local artisans (18th century). Tel +39 0141 592924 – For visits: 8.30-12/15-17.30 

2 COLLEGIATE CHURCH OF SAN SECONDOPiazza San SecondoDedicated to the Patron Saint of Asti, the present church was built between the 13th and the 15th century. Of the previous building remain only the Romanesque bell tower (11th century) and the central part of the crypt (10th century) which holds the Saint’s remains. Internally the-re are three gothic naves with many precious works among which are the polyptych and a plate of Gandolfino d’Asti, the 18th century wood- en chorus and traces of frescoes dated from the 1300s and 1400s. The first chapel of the right nave hosts the drapes of the Palio donated to the church every year on 1st Tuesday of May during the medieval ceremony of the Offering of the Palio. At the end of the nave is the 18th century chapel of San Secondo designed by Bernardo Vittone. Tel. +39 0141 530066 - For visits: 7.30-19

3 CHURCH OF SAN MARTINOPiazza San MartinoErected at the beginning of the 1700s by the Barnabites with a project designed by Father A. Mazenta, the church mentioned by Vittorio Alfie-ri as being “meeting place every midday for the idle of the world….” is one of the best examples of baroque architecture in Asti. Internally it has many notable frescoes of the Canelli artist Giancarlo Aliberti and is rich with stuccoes and precious marble. Notable are all the wood decorations and the sacristy. Alongside to the Church stands the con-vent, recently restored, and opposite is the deconsecrated church of the confraternity of San Michele (mid 18th century) The square is one of the most beautiful open spaces in the town centre.Tel. +39 0141 593477 - For visits: 9-12

4 CHURCH OF SANTA MARIA DI VIATOSTOLoc. Viatosto, 4 km from Piazza AlfieriThe present church is the rebuilt version of the 1300s Roman- esque church of Santa Maria di Riparupta (11th century). Inter-nally the three naves have the crossed ceiling, which is sup- ported by columns with sculptured capitals in sandstone. Re-cent restoration has brought to light some beautiful frescoes from the 13th to 16th century featuring the Madonna feeding the baby (the church was probably the place for female devo-tion and for requesting grace in birthgiving and breastfeeding). Among the many works of art is a wood Madonna of the 14th century and a sculpture in sandstone decorated in the 1400s. The church square is an excellent viewpoint over the town and hills.Tel +39 0141 419908 - For visits: 9.30 -12 /15-18

5 THE COMPLEX OF SAN PIETRO IN CONSAVIACorso Alfieri 2The Church, known as the Baptistery of Saint Peter, was built 1100-1130, on the model of the Saint Sepulchre of Jerusalem and is an excellent example of Romanesque in Asti, with its alternation in bricks and sandstone. The structure of the “Ro-tonda” is formed of an ambulacrum with eight columns within a walled perimeter, which results circular inside and a polygon outside. When the church was given to the Cavaliers of Saint John (Gerosolimitani), who took it over in 1169 the antique dedication to the Saint Sepulchre was replaced by the title of San Pietro di Consavia. In the 15th century, Giorgio di Valperga, Grand Prior of the Order added the square room which today holds his name, a large room with crossed ceilings decorated with a complex group of figures in cotto. This is the richest example of this ornamental technique in Asti. The two build- ings, deconsecrated, are also exhibition halls.Tel +39 0141 399489 - 466 - 588 Tue-Sun 10-13/15-18 from April to October 10-13/16-19. Closed on Mondays

8 DOMUS ROMANAVia Varrone 30 - 1st century ADBeneath this inhabited building are the archaeological remains of a patrician house. Of particular interest are the floors with the mosaic centrepiece made using the opus tesselatum technique together with the opus sectile method, delimited by a herring bone pattern internally and externally with a plaited pattern. The black and white mosaic is decorated with geometric figures of coloured marble alternated with animals and water plants. Nearby is the opening of the oven used to heat the house using the interspaces in the flooring (known as “hypocaustum” heating). On the surface of one wall, there are traces of ancient decorations which must at one time have been very elaborate. For visits: Tel +39 0141 437454 - 0141 399489www.comune.asti.it

1 TAPESTRY MUSEUM ARAZZERIA SCASSAVia dell’Arazzeria, 60The tapestry museum was founded by Ugo Scassa in 1957 in the renovated rooms of the historical Charterhouse of Valmanera. The laboratory produces tapestries using the ancient technique of the high-warp but the subjects are cartoons of modern contem-porary artists (Casorati, De Chirico, Cagli, Klee, Mirò, Kandijnski and others). The combination between a technique which has re- mained the same over the centuries and that of modern day sen-sibility creates unique and precious works of art. Many are di-splayed in prestigious seats and others remain to adorn the gallery of the museum where one can mingle after having observed the patient work of the laboratory workers.

CORSO ALFIERIDespite being a town rich with history and monuments, in Asti it is possible to wander amid the towers, churches and palaces and to also dedicate some time for shopping. Back in the Medieval period the town centre was full of artisans and com-mercial activities, concentrated around the Piazza San Secondo whilst the area around the Cathedral was reserved to the residences of the rich and nobles (the part still known as the “Noble Enclosure”). Still today the shop-ping area extends from the pedestrian central Corso Vittorio Alfieri to Corso Dante and from the streets which expand from Piazza San Secondo (Via Cavour, Via Garibaldi, Via Pelletta).Between one purchase and another, one is obliged to stop for a glass of ASTI in the cafés of the town centre and the many delicatessen shops of the town where one can taste the local delicious sweets and typical artisan nougat. A piece of advice: wander down into the narrow medieval streets, many small artisan shops rich with art and gift items are waiting to be discovered!

PIAZZA ALFIERIAsti has a long-standing commercial tradition dating back to the early Me-dieval period. In those days the markets were divided according to the pro-ducts (the hay market, the herb market, the wood market, the wine market) and were held in Piazza San Secondo and the nearby roads and squares. Today the main market is held every Wednesday and Saturday in the central Piazza Alfieri, Piazza Libertà and in Campo del Palio (foodstuffs only in the mornings and all day for other products).In Piazza Catena it is possible to purchase seasonal products directly from the local agricultural producers in the colourful square near the Cathedral every morning. An elegant structure built in 1925 hosts, in Piazza Libertà, the indoor market which offers typical products and wines every day. On the second Sunday of each month Piazza Libertà hosts the agro alimen-tary exhibition “Asti, products, tastes e flavours”” and under the porticos of Piazza Anfossi and Piazza Libertà local producers display their wines, salami, cheese, honey, etc.Every second Saturday in Piazza San Secondo the “Agro Arte” market is held with its eco-friendly biological and artisan products.Every fourth Sunday of the month the antique market is a must in the town centre with over 150 exhibitors. The first Wednesday in May features the largest market, the Carolingia Fair. This covers almost all of the town centre and originates not from Charle- magne (by legend) but from the end of the 14th century when for the eight days preceding and the eight days following the feast of the Patron Saint, Saint Secondo, this large fair would bring together merchants from all over Italy.
