Terratetto plurifamiliare in Frugarolo

The area is the flat plain of the Bormida and Orba between Alessandria and Novi Ligure, with fields, canals, roads and scattered industrial and logistics sites. The Bormida runs near Alessandria and the Orba is a little to the east. Alessandria is the nearest town of size, with full services, rail connections and the citadel. Toward Novi Ligure the area is known for mixed agriculture and for being on the edge of the wider Gavi wine zone, but the core landscape around Bosco Marengo is plain country rather than vineyard hills. Bosco Marengo itself is known for the large complex of Santa Croce and for its link to Pope Pius V.
