Asti
Asti is a city and comune of about 75,000 inhabitants located in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy.
People have lived in and around what is now Asti since the Neolithic period.
Some sections of the ancient city walls remain on the North side of the city and in the late 20th-century building work uncovered a section of Roman wall in the center of the city.
One of the most famous events held in Asti is the famous Palio di Asti, in which all the old town wards, called "Rioni" and "Borghi" plus nearby towns compete in a bare-back horse race.
The wine most famously associated with Asti worldwide is the sparkling Asti (DOCG).
