Via Cappello, 12, Monteu da Po

This is the low hill country of the Monferrato on the right bank of the Po, with mixed farmland, woods and scattered villages. The Po runs just below Monteu da Po, and the area also includes the Rocca di Verrua above the river at Verrua Savoia. The nearest larger town is Chivasso, which has rail links, supermarkets and everyday services. Turin is farther west and matters for jobs and higher-order services, but it is outside the immediate landscape. The area is known for wine hills and farming, and Monteu da Po is linked to the Roman site of Industria nearby.
