Province of Asti

The Province of Asti includes a small part of Appennino Ligure, where it reaches its maximum height with the Bric Puschera (851 m).

Most of the territory is composed of hill reliefs such as Monferrato, Po hills and Langhe.

In the province of Asti the plain is represented by the valleys of rivers and streams between the hills, in particular the Valle Belbo that crosses the south of the province. In these are built the capital and other main municipalities.

The main water courses that bathe the territory are rivers Tanaro And Bormida and the streams Banna, Belbo, Tiglione, Borbore, Stura and Versa (mainly tributaries of the Tanaro and Po rivers). The only lake in the province is Lake Codana, in the municipality of Montiglio Monferrato.

The province has a typically Paduan climate, with very hot summers and cold and misty winters. The rainfall is below the national average.

A provincial constituency with capital Asti is documented in the Savoy order from 1560. The province of Astigiana, although with different functions and boundaries than the contemporary entity, remained one of the administrative constituencies of the Savoy State until the reorganization introduced during French domination.^[3][4]

During the French period, the administrative arrangement was profoundly modified. In 1801 Asti became the capital of the Tanaro department, one of the districts established in Piemonte occupied by France. By decree of 11 September 1802 the Piedmontese departments were formally annexed to the French Republic. On 6 June 1805 the Tanaro department was suppressed and the Astilian territory, transformed into the arrondissement of Asti, was aggregated to the department of Marengo, with capital Alessandria. This order remained in force until the fall of the Napoleonic Empire.^[5][6]

With the Restoration, the edict of 21 May 1814 restored the ancient administrative structures of Sabaude and was reconstituted the Intestination of Asti.^[7] With the administrative reorganization of 1818 Asti was included in the Division of Alessandria, while retaining its own provincial intention.^[7]

As a result of the Regies Patents of 25 August 1842, under the economic administration, the Intendence of Asti was placed on the dependencies of the General Intention of Casale Monferrato.^[8] The General Intendence of Casale was then suppressed by the Regie Patenti of 30 October 1847, as part of the new administrative organization of the Kingdom.^[9]

The law of 23 October 1859, n. 3702, issued in the Kingdom of Sardinia, reorganized the territory of the State in provinces, surrounding areas, sendings and municipalities. The ancient province of Asti was suppressed and its territory constituted the district of Asti, inserted in province of Alessandria together with the surrounding areas of Alessandria, Acqui, Casale, Novi and Tortona.^[10]

The province of Asti was reconstituted in 1935. The Council of Ministers decided to reconstitute it on 30 March and the subsequent Royal Decree-Law 1 April 1935, n. 297, he dispose of the formation of the new provincial constituency through the detachment of 105 municipalities from the province of Alessandria.^[11][4] The new province entered operation on 15 April 1935.^[3][4]

The institutional sources of the period and subsequent archivists speak of "reconstitution" of the province, in view of the existence of the previous provincial constituency sabauda suppressed in 1859.^[3]

After the Liberation, many municipalities were gradually reconstituted which during the fascist period had been suppressed and aggregated to other bodies. The first measures date back to 1946 and continued in the following years; as a result of these reconstitutions, the number of municipalities in the province reached 120.^[12]

The provincial territory was affected by several serious flood events during the 20th century. Particularly relevant were the floods of 1948, which struck between the other Asti, Canelli, Incisa Scapaccino and Nizza Monferrato,^[13] those of autumn 1968, which involved many municipalities in the Astilian region,^[14] and theflood of November 1994, during which the Tanaro and its tributaries caused extensive flooding and serious damage even in the capital and provincial territory.^[15]

In 1998 the number of municipalities fell from 120 to 118 following the merger of Colcavagno, Montiglio and Scandeluzza, laid down by regional law 22 December 1997, n. 65, which established the new commune of Montiglio Monferrato.^[16] From 1 January 2023 the municipalities are 117, following the merger of Moransengo And Tonengo in the new commune of Moransengo-Tonengo, established by regional law 27 December 2022, n. 27.^[17]

Coat of arms

The provincial coat of arms was granted by royal decree of King Vittorio Emanuele III of 28 March 1938.^[18]

In the version granted in 1938, the coat of arms carried the head of the Littorio, an element made compulsory for the emblems of public bodies during fascism. The chief was eliminated following the legislative decree of 10 December 1944, n. 394.^[20]

Banner

The first provincial gonfalone was granted by royal decree of King Vittorio Emanuele III of 11 October 1938.^[18] A new gonfalone was granted by decree of the President of the Republic Luigi Einaudi of 23 March 1954.^[21] It is made up of a red drape, bearing in the centre the figure of San Second riding, accompanied by the provincial coat of arms.

Flag

The flag is a red rectangular drape loaded at the center of the provincial coat of arms.^[22]

In the provincial territory there are many ecclesiastical buildings of great beauty and artistic and cultural importance, among which are worthy of mention the Abbey of Vezzolano, near Albugnano, and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta (Asti). Of note are the presence of a mosque, a temple and a Jewish museum and the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Asti And Nizza Monferrato.
