カステルヌオーヴォカルセア周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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.

Very well maintained church.

The Sanctuary of San Pancrazio in Vinchio (AT), located in a panoramic position, is a historic place of worship dedicated to the young Roman martyr of the 4th century

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.

in the square there is a beautiful panel which tells the story of Pavese in summary and with fragments taken from his works: it is worth a short stop and then perhaps going deeper by visiting the various places located in the surrounding area "He didn't envy cars, he knew that in a car you travel through but you don't know a land. On foot, ..you really go into the countryside, take paths and skirt the vineyards, see everything. It's the same difference as looking at water and jumping into it.

The road goes up and from the town leads to this hillside hamlet which dominates the surrounding area. At the crossroads you can choose: on the right you go towards the amphitheater and the dirt road to Santo Stefano Canetto while on the left towards Repergo.

The castle, configured in a single and imposing square volume, reveals evident architectural stylistic differences, originating from the layout choices undertaken in the 17th century by the legitimate owners. Starting from 1625, the Asinari nobles shared the rank of "counts of Costigliole" with the noble Verasis family. This complex was therefore divided between two feudal lords, who, with autonomous determination, gave rise to transformations and embellishments on subjective bases. The northern part of the manor, pertaining to the Asinari, retains the appearance derived from the interventions of the second half of the eighteenth century, duly inspired by the architectural canons propagated by Benedetto Alfieri. At the same time, the external aspect of the southern part, pertaining to the Verasis, constitutes an interesting example of neo-medieval stylistic re-proposition, dating back to the first decades of the 19th century.
