Ciaoalessandria - Introduzione all'alessandrino |
 | | The territory around Alessandria, amid wide cultivated fields, marks the encounter, shortly before the main town of our province, between two important rivers, the Tanaro, that flows down from the West, and the Bormida, that moves on from the South, before they join into the Italian biggest river, the Po. |
 | | In Bosco Marengo Pope Saint Pius the Fifth was born in 1504 and here he began to build the church of the Holy Cross that includes a Dominican convent, realized upon a plan sketched by Ignazio Danti. |
 | | Alessandria is certainly the most important town of this territory, and of the entire province as well, with its history, its world-famous companies (who does not know “Borsalino”?), with its new university. |
