Solonghello
A small village nestled at the edge of the Monferrato hills, the earliest records of a commune date back to 1016, when several families rebelled against the Church of Vercelli and gathered under the name Soalingellum.
Castelletto Merli
The origins of Castelletto Merli date back to the Middle Ages, when the village was founded around a watchtower that gave it its name.
Alfiano Natta
The municipality of Alfiano Natta lies on the southern slope of Montebaldo hill, with its upper section shaped by the basin of the Versa stream.
Grazzano Badoglio
Perched atop a hill at 300 meters above sea level, surrounded by vineyards and cultivated fields, lies the village of Grazzano Badoglio, dominated by the ancient abbey and the parish church.
Moncalvo
On the road connecting Asti to Casale Monferrato, on a hill, lies the town of Moncalvo. The term “town” is not used lightly: Moncalvo was granted this title by Carlo Gonzaga in 1705, despite its small size and a population of only 3,000, a designation that is still valid today.
Ponzano
Ponzano may count only 330 inhabitants, yet this small village—together with nearby Salabue, forming a single municipality—carries with it a wealth of history.
