Hertz Car Hire - Asti
Asti - Piedmont Asti is a city in the
Piedmont region about 80 kilometres east of Turin
in the plain of the Tanaro River. The area to the
NW of the city, between the centre and the Cathedral,
is very rich in medieval palaces and merchants houses.
Asti was known as the city of 100 towers some of
which still remain today. Sections of the ancient
city walls remain on the North side of the city
and in the late c.20th a section of Roman wall was
uncovered in the center of the city. One of the
most famous events held in Asti is the famous Palio
d'Asti, in which all the old town wards, called
"Rioni" and "Borghi" plus nearby towns compete in
a bare-back horse race.
