Trilocale in Solero

This is the flat Tanaro plain around Alessandria, with farmland, irrigation channels and the broad river corridor of the Tanaro; the Bormida also meets the Tanaro here. The nearest larger centre is Alessandria itself, which has the usual services of a provincial capital and a citadel fortress. Beyond the 15 km radius the landscape rises toward Monferrato vineyards and the Ligurian Apennines, but those do not define the immediate surroundings here. The area is known mainly for agriculture and for Alessandria’s road and rail junction role between Turin, Milan and Genoa.
