Borgoratto Alessandrino, in the province of Alessandria, is known as the "Town of Artists" for having been the birthplace or home to notable painters and sculptors. Inaugurated in May 2023, the project enhances the village as an open-air gallery, including an art trail, a parish church with 20th-century works, a "Garden of Welcome," and a large panoramic bench.
