Asti Italy

Asti is the fourth largest town in the region by population and is located in the Valle river Tanaro which, after receiving the tributaries Borbore Valbrenta and Versa, delimits the town to the south. The city, between the Langhe and Monferrato, is located in a favorable location in the heart of the UNESCO site. It was built by the Romans (as Hasta Pompeia) and it was the seat of the Duchy of Asti, the longobardic duchy of Neustria. Under the Franks it became a bishopric and the Church was directly involved in the administration of the town, so much that, after the collapse of Carolingian Empire, the city survived as independent urban organism. Free town in the MiddleAges, with the right to “coin money”, it was one of the most important trade centers between XII and XIII century, when its merchants developed trade and diffused the credit throughout Europe.
