Cocconato
Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia
Every year since 1970 the six districts of Cocconato, joined by neighbouring Moransengo, have competed in the Palio degli Asini, a donkey race. The hill town in the Monferrato was the main seat of the Radicati counts in the Middle Ages, and its 15th-century town hall is a rare late Gothic civic building.
Highlights
- The Palio degli Asini, the donkey race between the town's districts
