History of Castello di Annone

SymbolsExplore this chapter

The name comes from the Latin a nonum (to nine), because it was 9 Roman miles away from Asti. In the Middle Ages it became a notable strategic point of passage, so much so that the town became a flourishing center for merchants and financiers, maintaining its importance until 1644, when it was destroyed by Spanish attacks.

Severe damage was suffered by the territory of the municipality in November 1994 due to the overflow of the river Tanaro.
