Castell'Alfero: Location and surroundings of this property

Castell'Alfero is a picturesque village in Basso Monferrato, celebrated for its charming central square dominated by a majestic 18th-century castle. In the evenings, the castle’s façade is illuminated in the colours of the Italian Tricolore, paying homage to Giovan Battista De Rolandis, the creator of the Italian flag, born here in 1774. This striking light display draws an increasing number of visitors who gather in the square to enjoy the local Monferrato cuisine, complemented by fine regional wines. Beyond its beauty, the castle holds cultural significance, with its dungeons housing the ‘L Ciar’ Museum, a fascinating collection of everyday objects from the past. Among the village's other treasures is the 12th-century Romanesque church, ‘Madonna della Neve,’ one of the most significant examples of sacred architecture in Monferrato due to its historical and artistic value. Castell'Alfero is also an ideal starting point for exploring the wider Monferrato area, with its proximity to nearby cities like Asti (15 minutes away), Casale Monferrato, and Alba (both 35 minutes away). Its strategic location allows easy access to the Ligurian coast or Milan, reachable in just an hour and a half. An interesting anecdote ties Castell'Alfero to Alan Silvestri, the world-renowned composer behind the soundtracks of films like Forrest Gump, Cast Away, and Back to the Future. Silvestri has been an honorary citizen of Castell'Alfero since 2006, a recognition of his deep family ties to the village, where his grandmother Eugenia was born, linking him to this rich and historic land.
