Streets that enjoy peace and a pleasant view

Beautiful little church in the tiny hamlet of Trittango.

This stretch of road in the Monferrato Astigiano is very beautiful.

In my opinion one of the most beautiful villages in Monferrato, surrounded by hazelnut groves, vineyards and lavender fields.

Beautiful neoclassical church, with a beautiful tree-lined avenue in front. Practically on the road, impossible to miss. Near the church, as an interesting curiosity, the Pro Loco of Revignano keeps the Festival delle Sagre house parked, which being a house with a real roof does not need to be covered.

The origin of the word Cocconato is Latin. The town of Marcellina bears witness to the past Roman presence and is linked to the legend of the Pietra Cagnola, a solid gold simulacrum in the shape of a dog, which was placed on the harrow, believing that it had the power to make the land fertile.

Why is there a Piazza Australia in Conzano? To solve the mystery we must go back in time more than a hundred years, to the end of the 19th century, during the Great Depression. The economic difficulties of the time pushed many people to abandon their homeland to seek fortune elsewhere. In that period, many Conzano residents moved to northern Queensland, Australia, to work cutting sugar cane: in this activity, in fact, the skills acquired in growing vines, typical of these areas of Monferrato, were useful. A strong bond has been maintained over time between the local Conzano community and the expatriate Conzano community: so in 1992 the town chose to pay tribute to its emigrant fellow citizens by changing the name of the square, from Piazza d’Armi to Piazza Australia.
