BORGO SAN MARZANOTTO

Nel Medioevo Asti era un vivace crocevia di commerci tra l’Italia e l’Europa. Due grandi fiere — a marzo per San Secondo e a novembre — animavano la città con mercanti, spezie, tessuti e affari. Gli astigiani si distinsero anche per i servizi di cambio valuta e prestiti su pegno, che favorivano il commercio. Le fiere erano momenti di incontro, festa e scambio di idee.

BORGO SAN MARZANOTTO

In the Middle Ages, Asti was a lively crossroads of trade between Italy and Europe. Two major fairs — in March for San Secondo and in November — filled the city with merchants, spices, fine fabrics, and business deals. The people of Asti became known for currency exchange and pawn services that supported trade. The fairs were also times of meeting, celebration, and sharing ideas.
