Massimo Poggio's Monferrato

Why choose Monferrato as a place to live, perhaps, or simply to pass a little time, or choose it as a place of knowledge? Because it is a wonderful land, full of history, culture and resources. Just think about all the wine-related culture, but not only, and obviously I am also talking about food which at this moment are two very important topics, also related to Expo, which will be held shortly and organised and conceived precisely to revolve exclusively around nutrition. Monferrato…obviously I am speaking as someone from Alessandria, as a cycle tourist…my job as an actor makes me travel a lot so I am often far from Alessandria, but I try to get back regularly. This is where my roots are, this is where I discovered beauty and the wonder and pleasure of being here. Of course, it is not easy for me to say this, because when you grow up in a place you take many things for granted. It is only when you leave a place that you might be able to see others that you may never have seen before.. they may simply have been things you had never paid attention to
