Asti, Piedmont, Italy, Europe

Asti is an Italian town of 73 569 inhabitants, the capital of the Piedmontese province of the same name and former capital of the ancient Astesana, today more commonly defined as Asti. Roman Municipium, known as Hasta, was the seat of the Duchy of Asti, the Longobard Duchy of Neustria. Free commune in the Middle Ages, with the right to "coin money", it was one of the most important commercial centers between the 12th and 13th centuries, when its merchants developed trade and credit throughout Europe. It is known for its wines, in particular Asti spumante: every year, in September, one of the most important wine competitions in Italy is held here, called the Douja d'Or. Also famous is its historic Palio, one of the oldest events in Italy, which takes place in September and culminates with a horse race mounted "a pelo" (without saddle).
