Costigliole d'Asti Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle, configured in a single and imposing square volume, reveals evident architectural stylistic differences, originating from the layout choices undertaken in the 17th century by the legitimate owners. Starting from 1625, the Asinari nobles shared the rank of "counts of Costigliole" with the noble Verasis family. This complex was therefore divided between two feudal lords, who, with autonomous determination, gave rise to transformations and embellishments on subjective bases. The northern part of the manor, pertaining to the Asinari, retains the appearance derived from the interventions of the second half of the eighteenth century, duly inspired by the architectural canons propagated by Benedetto Alfieri. At the same time, the external aspect of the southern part, pertaining to the Verasis, constitutes an interesting example of neo-medieval stylistic re-proposition, dating back to the first decades of the 19th century.

Rocca di Costigliole d'Asti

Highlight • Castle

The Rocca di Costigliole d'Asti, located in the historic center of Costigliole d'Asti, reveals the roots of an ancient past. Toponyms like "Burio" reveal the pre-Roman settlement of the Ligurian Eburiates. Significant finds, such as the prehistoric pirogue and the Roman stele, have been discovered along the Tanaro river. In 1041, an official document ratifies the possession of Pietro, Bishop of Asti, by Emperor Henry III.

Costigliole d'Asti

Highlight • Castle

A short or longer stop at the Vino Enobottega on the Piazza Umberto is worthwhile. Great wine selection and non-alcoholic refreshments too. The place is still untouched by tourists and invites you to linger. Worth a detour.
