The capital of Asti Province in the Piedmont region in northwest Italy. Population: 70,598 (2001 census preliminary figure). Located on the Tanaro River. Developed as an autonomous city during the Roman era, it was the seat of a bishopric in the 5th century. From the 13th to 15th centuries, it prospered remarkably as a key transportation point between Italy and France. The prosperity of those days can be seen in the Gothic cathedral and nobleman's mansions that still stand today. Industries such as machinery and food developed, and the city is particularly famous for its wine production.
