At the end of the uphill main street stands the large parish church.

Castelnuovo Calcea, located in the heart of the Monferrato Astigiano, has ancient origins linked to the Ligurian Statielli, Celts, and Gauls, before Roman colonization (Castrum Novum ad Calcea). The medieval village, known for its castle, destroyed several times starting in 1155, was a fiefdom of the Marquises of Incisa, the Trotti family, and finally the Savoy family in 1735.

Santo Stefano Belbo was immortalized by the writing of Cesare Pavese, an intellectual who, through his works, particularly The Moon and the Bonfires, narrated the history and traditions of a town, immortalizing its people and making its places legendary. A poet, translator, editor, and writer, he is considered one of the greatest and most important Italian intellectuals of the 20th century.

The Torre Troiana was built in the 13th century and is 44 meters high. It has a square base measuring 5.90 meters on each side and a narrow, curved dome. To visit, you must purchase a ticket for €10 at the tourist office. This ticket allows access to five attractions; you cannot purchase a ticket at the tower itself.

Stunning view of a stunning village

A cycle path that allows you to reach the Asti railway station along Corso Gramsci without getting caught in a traffic jam.

A stunning village, perched in an even more stunning location. Seen from afar, it looks like The Name of the Rose. Once inside, not only is the village a gem, but the view is breathtaking. The little square in front of the church is beautiful, with a lovely outdoor café where you can relax and sip a refreshing drink. Whichever way you get there, you'll have to endure some steep climbs, but with patience and agile gears, it's worth the effort.

the equestrian monument is to Umberto I, the first King of Italy
