Asti (AT)

These words are taken from a song by Paolo Conte, the lawyer-songwriter who has appeared in theatres all over the world and is surely one of the biggest celebrities to come out of Asti in the last decade. But is Asti still “in fondo alla campagna” (“deep in the countryside”), as he suggests later on in the same song. Asti, with its medieval centre, is the principal town in one of the world’s most important wine-producing provinces. Nowadays, it is also a centre for advanced geographical and environmental research into the farming industry, and an important point of reference in the development of new agricultural practices for Italy and Europe.
