The UNESCO Creative Cities network, created in 2004 to promote cooperation with and between cities that have identified creativity as a strategic key element to sustainable urban development, places great emphasis on design. This is why Alba has at the heart of its activities the ongoing creation of projects and new initiatives to enhance its presence in the network.
Welcome to the city of the hundred towers!
Alba is a city nestled among the hills of southern Piedmont, an ideal centre between the Mediterranean Sea and the Alps; the beating heart at the centre of the Langhe, Alba is surrounded by an extraordinary landscape rich in nature, vineyards, hazelnut groves and woods featuring unique colours; a landscape shaped by man, rich in history, traditions, picturesque villages, castles and bell towers.
