San Damiano d’Asti: arcades, vineyards and hillside life
In San Damiano d’Asti the pleasure of discovery begins with a walk. The long arcades accompany you through the streets of the historic center, among squares, churches and palaces that tell centuries of history. The route leads to Piazza Libertà, where Palazzo Carlevaris, now the Town Hall, and the Baroque church of San Giuseppe overlook.
Then just step away from the center to find yourself in the landscape of the Alfieri Hills, among vineyards, country roads and small inhabited nuclei. The area's itineraries are suitable for excursions on foot, by bicycle and e-bike: an invitation to move without haste, stopping to admire a panorama or discover a new corner of the countryside.
Taste is also part of the journey. The local wines, the Regional Wine Cellar of the Alfieri Hills and local festivals offer opportunities to get to know the eno-gastronomic culture of this part of Piedmont. The historic fairs of Caritun and dei Santi tell the town's bond with its traditions and enliven the life of the community.
For those imagining a second home among the hills, San Damiano d’Asti suggests a way of life made up of small rituals: a walk under the arcades, a bike ride, a lunch with friends and time to enjoy the landscape. A place to get to know during a weekend and to rediscover with the changing of the seasons.
