Asti is an Italian town of 73 569 inhabitants, the capital of the Piedmontese province of the same name and former capital of the ancient Astesana, today more commonly defined as Asti. Roman Municipium, known as Hasta, was the seat of the Duchy of Asti, the Longobard Duchy of Neustria. Free commune in the Middle Ages, with the right to "coin money", it was one of the most important commercial centers between the 12th and 13th centuries, when its merchants developed trade and credit throughout Europe. It is known for its wines, in particular Asti spumante: every year, in September, one of the most important wine competitions in Italy is held here, called the Douja d'Or. Also famous is its historic Palio, one of the oldest events in Italy, which takes place in September and culminates with a horse race mounted "a pelo" (without saddle). 00:00 Umberto I of Savoy 00:10 Church Oblates of St. Joseph 00:44 Red Tower 02:08 Michelerio Palace 02:58 Palazzo Mazzetti Palace 08:39 Ottolenghi Palace 09:19 Crypt of Saint Anastasius 13:30 Deregibus Tower 14:03 Alfieri Palace 17:54 Domus Romana 18:56 Zoya Palace 20:04 House of Pelletta 20:35 Museum of the Palio 26:29 Natta Tower 27:12 Asinari Verasis Palace 27:35 Faletti Palace 28:11 House of Rovere 28:39 Strata Palace 29:04 Solaro Tower 29:31 Bunej Palace 30:29 Troyana Tower 32:52 Collegiate Church of Saint Second 35:06 Monument to the Unification of Italy 35:20 Medici del Vascello Castle
