L'evento
Alongside the scenery, we explore historical stories from an area with evidence of prehistoric and Roman settlement.
Starting in Conzano, we discuss its unusual emigration links with Oceania, highlighted in 1992, and the reasons behind this history.
Leaving the village, easy country lanes lead towards the Grana stream, whose banks include truffle-growing areas. Camagna's distinctive skyline appears in the distance, dominated by the imposing 19th-century dome of its parish church, designed by Crescentino Caselli.
A day surrounded by nature and the Monferrato hills, with stories and curiosities from the past and the beauty of the UNESCO wine landscape.
