		Towards the end of the thirteenth century Alessandria was subjected to Charles of Anjou and, later, to Guglielmo VII of Monferrato; in 1316, finally, the leaders of the Guelph and Ghibelline factions submitted to Matteo Visconti, conferring to the powerful Milanese family the seigniory of their city.

	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.
		The Tanaro, after going through the southern part of the province of Asti, through wild valleys and luxuriant flat fields, enters our territory by wedging itself into the hills of the Lower and of the Upper Monferrato and by lying itself amid active agricultural villages like Quattordio, Felizzano, Oviglio and Quargnento.
		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.
