Places to see in ( Asti - Italy ) Collegiata di San Secondo
The Collegiate Church of San Secondo is a basilica catholic among the oldest of Asti . With the adjacent town hall and overlooking the square of the same name, is the heart of the city. Dedicated to San Secondo , patron of the city, according to tradition, it arose on the site of his martyrdom and burial. The precise epoch of its foundation is not known, the oldest document mentioning the church is of 1 August 880 and deals with a placito in which Baterico viscount astense in the period of the Supponides mentions some properties of the church.
In another of the 940s, the church became a parish at the beginning of the century, it was extra muros , that is, outside the concentric city as it was used as a cemetery church. After the incursions of the barbarians in the ninth and tenth centuries the body of San Secondo was moved to the cathedral inside the city. There are no certain documents of this displacement, but in some documents of 880 , the cathedral is named as Santa Maria Assunta and San Secondo.
According to the Incisa , the translation took place under the episcopate of Bruningo , even if there are no certain documents of the matter; it is certainly thanks to this bishop, who lived in the tenth century , that the first works of enlarging the church were carried out, thus transforming the factory into the third nerve center of the city, together with the fortified bishop's residence, the Castelvecchio and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta .
Since the 11th century , the Collegiata del Santo has been in the forefront of Asti's policy, in this sense, no bishop power managed to deprive it of autonomy, becoming over the centuries the melting pot of the common forces and aspirations, but also an important area of exchanges and economic activities, worthy of the title of San Secondo de mercato.
The pre-Romanesque structure of the church can not be rebuilt, except for the presence of the crypt; the oldest part dates back to the 6th / 7th century , consisting of four small columns surmounted by Corinthian imitation capitals with a double row of leaves. Two side walls and two wrought iron gates delimit the cella confessionis, inside which there is a sixteenth-century reliquary , in silver, containing the bones of the martyr from Asti.
According to a typically high-medieval process, the presence of relics in a church increased or shifted the pole of political, demographic, commercial attractiveness, close to the same church; it is thought that this contributed to the settlement of the Longobard ducal court , mentioned in a document of 940. The church has a longitudinal plan, divided into three irregular naves, of which the central is the largest. The central nave ends with a pentagonal apse . The left aisle ends with a flat apse, while the right is circular. The facade, with the typical Roman setting gabled divided into three parts, has at its center a rosette in brick with elements Renaissance . The side doors are from the sixteenth century, the central door is eighteenth-century.

( Asti - Italy ) is a city located in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy, about 55 kilometres (34 miles) east of Turin in the plain of the Tanaro River. It is the capital of the province of Asti and it is deemed to be the modern capital of Monferrato
The city dates to pre-Roman times and still a few ruins remain. In the 10th-13th centuries, Asti rose economically and politically to become one of the most powerful independent cities in Western Italy. The old medieval town still maintains many of the historic palaces and towers built by the rich families -Asti was known as the city of 100 towers (in fact there were 120 of which about 15 survive). Eventually power struggles between Turin and Milan led to Asti’s demise as an independent city and the city changed hands frequently over a 300 year period until it fell under control of the House of Savoy in 1575, regaining some of its former glory. The city is divided into the new Baroque (1700’s) town centred around the Piazza Alfieri named after one of Italy’s most famous poets who was born in Asti and the medieval town centred on the Piazza San Secondo with the Romanesque San Secondo Church and Crypt. Today Asti is the main commercial centre of Piedmont's wine area, but still retains a friendly small town feel and is a good base for touring Piedmont. Asti is 40 minutes drive from Turin and one hour from Milan.
There are several medieval churches in Asti, including
Collegiata di San Secondo on Piazza San Secondo, build on the site of Asti’s patron saint’s martyrdom (119 AD), rebuilt in XIII century, located in the old market piazza and houses the bones of the sacred saint of Asti in the crypt and the Palio d’Asti banners in a chapel.
Cathedrale di Santa Maria Assunta in Piazza Cathedrale. Built in XIV century, one of Piedmont’s most important gothic churches.
Medieval City, the central part of Asti still comprises of narrow paved streets, ancient buildings, towers palaces and churches, with many parts of the old wall still intact. Great for wandering around.
Torre Troyana (Trojan Tower) Piazza Medici 13th C. Asti was know as the “city of 100 towers” – in fact there were 120 of these fortified family bolt-holes, of which about 12 still survive. This tower is open to visitors on weekends to walk up the summit.
Torre Rosso (Romano), end of C.Alfieri. Oldest surviving tower dating back to roman era (1st C) formerly part of the old gate
Palazzo Civico, Piazza San Secondo. An old palace, used as the mayors office and other Asti commune offices. Visitors allowed on the first floor halls.
Historical Archives, Palazza Mazzola, Via Cardinal Massaia, opposite Cathedral. Houses a large collection of historical documents and maps, including a room dedicated to Palio di Asti.
Teatro Alfieri, Asti’s theatre, built in 1860, resembles an opera house and was recently renovated. Often if someone is there they will let you wander around.
Palio di Asti, this historic bareback horse race is the oldest one of its type in Italy originating in 1273, when the Astigiani staged a race beneath the walls of the enemy city of Alba causing great devastation to their vineyards. Wars between Asti and Alba have long since ceased, although to this day there is intense rivalry between the cities, and the Palio horse race is now held every 3rd Sunday in September. All the ancient borgo (boroughs) of Asti, and many nearby towns enter both a horse and a contingent for the medieval parade preceding the Palio. The parade starts at the Cathedral and winds through the historical medieval town ending up on the Palio arena on Piazza Alfieri. There are 3 heats, followed by an interlude for the flag-throwers to show their skills; then the final is raced (usually after several deliberate false starts) and the winner claims his prize - the precious banner with the picture of Asti’s patron saint, the Palio di Asti.
Feste Della Sagre, every second weekend in September. Every small town and commune in Piedmont holds a “Sagre” festival celebrating their special food dish and local wines. The Asti Sagre is the “Sagre of Sagres” where some 50 or so provincial towns and communes build a thematic stand in the Campo Del Palio and for two days over the weekend hold an eating festival.
Douja D'Or, for 10 days between the Sagre and Palio, Asti holds the Douja D’Or (gold goblet) wine tasting competition and symposium.
Palio Degli Sbandieratori, Piedmont's flag-throwing teams are justly famous and every Asti Borgo and provincial town sponsors a team, who compete in the Piazza San Secondo in a night time spectacle during the Palio week.
