Grazzano Badoglio, in the province of Asti, is an ancient Monferrato village known for its Benedictine abbey founded in 961 by Marquis Aleramo. Originally called Grazzano Monferrato, the municipality changed its name in 1939 in honor of Marshal Pietro Badoglio, a key figure in Italian history. He was born here in 1871 and died in 1956.

Altavilla Monferrato is a municipality of 381 inhabitants in the province of Alessandria, Piedmont. It is among the most depopulated municipalities in Italy, having lost 23% of its population in the last nine years.

Typical village of the lower Monferrato

This stretch of road offers views of the typical Monferrato landscapes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a pleasant cycle ride.

The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" - which I highly recommend - is dedicated to short film clips featuring UNESCO World Heritage sites from all continents and eras. This includes the "Sacri Monti" in northern Italy (there are eight of these "Sacred Mountains" in Piedmont, and a ninth in Lombardy), which are presented to culture-loving viewers in a 15-minute segment.

Sala Monferrato bench, beautiful panoramic view

It is a small town nestled in the Monferrato hills. It is worth passing through.
