Unmistakable monument on a beautiful square, full of commercial activities, bars, restaurants and shops.

The small town of Barbaresco is famous for being the place of origin of the wine of the same name. The municipality is part of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato area, which has been part of the UNESCO heritage since 2014.

The cathedral of San Lorenzo, commonly called the Cathedral of Alba, takes on the role of the main place of worship within the town of Alba, which also enjoys the nickname of "capital of the Langhe". On the occasion of a visit to the Piedmontese hills, recognized as a UNESCO heritage site, I highly recommend you contemplate the magnificence of this building. The streets and this square host important events, and a starred restaurant lends itself to delight your palate, offering an experience steeped in the historical and traditional essence of Piedmont. On the façade of the cathedral you will be able to spot the bas-reliefs of the symbols of the four evangelists that make up the initials of the city (angel, lion, ox, eagle).

New piazza di alba, well worth a visit

On the road that connects Neive to Barbaresco. Paradise

Saint John the Baptist (San Giovanni Battista), to whom this church was dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zechariah and Elisabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist. This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven. The commemoration day of San Giovanni Battista in the calendar of saints is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

The cathedral overlooks one of the most important squares in Alba.
