The Sternia is a unique road of its kind located in Canelli, a town in the province of Asti Italy. This pedestrian stretch of road originates from Piazza San Tommaso and extends to the top of the hill where you will find the imposing Castello Gancia. But there is much more to discover: the Sternia is also known as "Street of Lovers", a loving tribute to Raymond Peynet, the talented French illustrator who created "Les Amoureux", a series which has captured the hearts of many. His works have inspired numerous artists to create installations along this street, making it even more fascinating. It represents one of the historical traits of Canelli that unites the souls of "Borgo" and "Villanuova". The latter is the oldest nucleus of Canelli and is still dominated today by its imposing castle, Castello Gancia. The Sternia is a paved road reserved for pedestrians, a fascinating path that winds along the hill through the medieval part of the town. You will reach Piazza San Leonardo, an enchanting place that houses the Church of San Rocco and the Church of San Leonardo. From here, the road continues its ascent until it reaches the top, at the foot of what is now the magnificent Gancia Castle.
