Tips

The Collegiate Church of San Secondo is one of the oldest Gothic churches in Asti. With the adjacent municipal seat and opposite the square of the same name, it forms the heart of the city. Dedicated to San Secondo, patron saint of the city, it was built according to tradition on the site of his martyrdom and burial.
The exact time of its foundation is not known, the oldest document mentioning the church dates from August 1, 880.
Don't forget to visit the Crypt:
Explanation: The pre-Romanesque layout of the church cannot be reconstructed in any way, except for the presence of the crypt; the oldest part dates from the 6th/7th century, consisting of four small columns surmounted by Corinthian imitation capitals with a double order of leaves. Two side walls and two wrought iron gates delimit the "cella confessionis", inside which is the sixteenth century reliquary, in silver, with the bones of the martyr from Asti.

Divided into three naves by twelve pillars supporting arches and cross vaults on a Latin cross plan, the church contains works of great artistic value by painters of the 16th and 17th centuries. Of note are the carved choir and wooden lectern, commissioned by Bishop Innocenzo Migliavacca at the end of the 17th century. At the end of the nave is the Chapel of San Secondo, built between 1772 and 1789 to a design by Bernardo Antonio Vittone.
