Villetta a schiera in Strada Comunale Cerca, 14, Rivalta Scrivia - Cascinotti Fornace - Torre Garofoli, Tortona,

The area sits on the Tortona plain at the edge of the Colli Tortonesi, with low vineyard and mixed-farming hills starting just south and east of town. The Scrivia valley is nearby, and the Curone, Grue and Ossona valleys open into the hill country within this radius. Tortona is the main town in the area and has a substantial historic centre, services, rail connections and the Romanesque cathedral. The hills around Tortona are known for wine, especially Timorasso, and for mixed agricultural landscapes rather than a single protected landmark.
