La proprietà — Hotel Cavour
Hotel Cavour is a no-fuss 2-star on Asti's main square, Piazza Alfieri. The lobby is compact and tiled, with a front desk that hands you a key to a clean, functional room with dated furniture but good shutters for sleep. It suits budget travellers who want to be steps from the cathedral and the Palio racecourse, not those expecting charm or frills.
Cronache di Asti
Asti was a thriving Roman municipium (Hasta Pompeia) before becoming a powerful medieval commune that rivalled Florence. Its 14th-century towers, like the Torre Troyana and Torre Comentina, still punctuate the skyline, remnants of Guelph and Ghibelline feuds. Today the city is best known for sparkling wine (Asti Spumante) and the September Palio di Asti, a horse race with medieval costumes that fills the piazze.
