Culture & Tradition

Medieval historical re-enactment with historical procession and Palio dei Borghi with equestrian contests.

In 1296 Giovanni I di Monferrato married Margherita, the 17-year-old daughter of Count Amedeo di Savoia known as the Great. In 1305, Giovanni I died and Margherita obtained the castellanies of Ciriè, Lanzo and Caselle in perpetual widowly usufruct, which she managed firmly, also winning the benevolence of her subjects.
