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.

The Bosco della Pastrona, a green area of approximately 50 hectares, connects the river with the city of Casale Monferrato. Partly managed by the Po Park, it includes a picnic area and a mountain biking and running trail called "Kintana". This 10 km route was inaugurated in May 2014 after a redevelopment period supported by the Piedmont Region and private volunteers. Thanks to an agreement with the Municipality of Casale Monferrato, the area is managed by private individuals for maintenance and the organization of events. Currently managed by the non-profit association "Fiab Monferrato Bike", the route is challenging but accessible to all. The terrain is suitable for all seasons, except for adverse weather conditions. During the excursion, you can enjoy the flora and fauna along the Po and choose where to stop at the technical points. The route has three rings with different levels of difficulty and connections to other paths, starting from the Monferrato Castle and ending at the pier. The management of the area involves the local community and offers an opportunity to reconnect with the Po river.

Around 1900, the extremely wealthy entrepreneur, financier, art collector and patron Riccardo Gualino (1879–1964) began building a neo-Romanesque-neo-Gothic castle in a commanding position over the town. The architect of the building was the engineer Vittorio Tornielli. In 1918, the Castello di Cereseto became one of the residences of the Turin family, where lavish parties were celebrated with guests from the Piedmontese business and financial world, from the Agnelli to the Sella. The fort was inhabited by the family until the second half of the 20th century and is therefore well preserved.
