At the end of the uphill main street stands the large parish church.

The vault of the central nave was painted by Luigi Morgari in 1880: it is divided into four bands, each depicting an episode from the life of San Martino. The altarpiece in the first chapel on the left, The Baptism of Jesus, is also by the same artist. The church is flooded with natural light, which filters through the side openings, giving the building an amber glow that highlights the beauty of the paintings and frescoes. During my last visit, an exhibition of paintings was also taking place here.

The town is very small, but packed with points of interest. The starting point is the castle, which occupies the summit; a beautiful masonry structure, it now houses the Regional Wine Shop. Opposite the castle is the Town Hall, and next to it is a rest area with benches, a fountain, and a lovely view of the Langhe. On the opposite side is the Church of Saints James and Christopher, a beautiful building of medieval origin, but completely rebuilt in the 17th century, with its façade subsequently remodeled in neoclassical style. Continuing downhill, you reach one of the town's ancient gates, which leads onto the provincial road. Slightly further away (and requiring some effort to find), the Church of the Holy Trinity, also from the 17th century, has a very simple façade (and a beautiful door on the side), and is unfortunately somewhat neglected. The entire tour takes little time, but is worth the detour. Near the town gate, a restaurant also offers a chance to combine gastronomy and culture.

A beautiful eighteenth-century church, somewhere between Baroque and Neoclassical, entirely made of exposed brick. On the road that runs alongside it, an interesting gate/archway provides access to the village.

Breathtaking views in all seasons

A hamlet along the beautiful road that, running practically along the crest, connects (almost) Asti to (almost) Alba. From this point, there are stunning views of the surrounding hills.

Beautiful road, not too damaged, immersed in the wonderful panorama of the Tanaro hills.

Nice gravel strip along Tanaro. No traffic!
