Asti, Medieval commune in Piedmont, Italy
Located at the confluence of Tanaro and Borbore rivers, Asti extends across hills and valleys surrounded by vineyards in northwestern Italy.
Founded as the Roman colony of Hasta in 124 BC, Asti developed into an independent commune and received rights to mint coins in 1140.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, built between 1309 and 1348, represents Gothic architecture with its red brick facade and pointed arches.
The central railway station connects Asti to Turin and Genoa through regular services, while local buses provide transportation within the city.
The Palio di Asti horse race, held each September, features riders competing bareback around the main square representing different city districts.
