The Folklore
Traditions in the Monferrato are intrinsically linked to the rhythms of the seasons and the rich agricultural heritage that exist to this day.
Today, all areas even the smallest villages have their own religious days, festivals, markets, holidays and degustazioni – gourmet-tasting days that showcase the best food the Monferrato has to offer.
Food and the advent of the ‘Slow Food’ movement has been one of the main reasons why these days continue year after year: la polenta, il risotto, l'asparago saraceno, le frittelle, la robiola, il peperone, la bagna cauda.
Historic events are re-enacted: l'Assedio di Canelli – the seige of Canelli, every year is held to celebrate the famous victory in 1613 of Gonzaga di Mantova of Monferrato who took the city, the famous Palio di Asti, in September re-enacts the famous horse race from the 8th century.
It is also a testimony to the quality and the originality of the artisans who display many hand made products at the numerous antique markets in Asti, Nizza Monferrato, Canelli, Acqui Terme that these markets keep going from strength to strength.
