Roero

The town is dominated by its castle and the colors of its houses create an ancient and picturesque atmosphere.

The medieval tower of the village is a remnant of the ancient castle and bears witness to the fourteenth-century feudal affirmation of the Roero family.

Sommariva Perno has ancient origins and stands near the ruins of the roman Paternum. The village is located on an upland at the top of which the fourteenth-century castle is situated.

The houses of the old village are arranged amphitheatrically around the castle, placed at the top of the hill, and draw the characteristic streets of medieval villages.

Priocca is closed between two rivers, the Borbore and the Tanaro. The village is characterized by the 40-meter bell tower of the parish church of Santo Stefano, dating back to the early 1900s.

The Renaissance castle of the Counts Morra di Lavriano is located at the end of the old part of the town, characterized by small and narrow alleys.

The name derives from the Roman family of Cornelii, owners of these lands: many objects and tombstones from the Roman period were found in the area.

The little town has a tall bell tower. Canale is famous for its peaches and wines. In the center of the town there’s the Roero Regional Wine Cellar.

The ancient town of Bra was founded when the nearby Pollenzo started its decadence, after the war in 402 between Alarico and Stilicone.
