Treville: Churches, Trails and Panoramic Views

Treville among Churches and Rolling Hills

Treville combines historic churches with paths and viewpoints across the landscape. The parish church of Sant'Ambrogio was built between 1772 and 1783 according to a design by engineer Evasio Andrea De Giovanni and is an exceptional vantage point. If, during a trip to Italy, you would like to consider architecture and landscape together, Treville allows you to connect both perspectives.

Sacred History from Several Eras

In 1830, the church of San Giacomo served as the seat of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament. From 2002 onward, it hosted exhibitions of contemporary authors' works. Another historical trace is provided by the rural church of San Quirico: it was built between the 11th and 12th centuries and is a typical example of Romanesque rural church architecture. Treville's cultural spectrum thus ranges from medieval architecture to later religious and artistic uses.

Through the Landscape on Sentiero 713

White and red trail markers identify Sentiero 713 through the landscape around Treville. From Piazza Devasini, Sentiero 713 leads to the church of San Quirico, the historic hemp pits, the remains of a former mill and the sulfur spring. The mill remains are now difficult to recognize following a bank collapse along the stream; the sulfur spring has been abandoned. Those interested in the landscape and regional history will therefore encounter both visible structures and traces of earlier uses here.

Further Trails and Natural Contrasts

The Bretella Treville–Sala M.to forms part of Treville's hiking trail network. Sentiero 740 also belongs to this network.

West of Treville, the Bric d'la Crus lies on the ridge and offers expansive views over the surrounding area. Also west of Treville are the Fonti del Roncheiz, in the valley of the Rio Molino, in a damp and cool area. The two landscape sites offer contrasting experiences: the ridge opens up views across the surroundings, while the valley is characterized by its damp and cool setting.

Palazzo Devasini and Local Culture

The municipal library “Giuseppe Spina” is located in Palazzo Devasini. The Biblioteca Comunale “Giuseppe Spina” offers a book-lending service. In this way, a specific municipal institution complements the churches, historical traces and paths that shape Treville's character from both a cultural and landscape perspective.

Treville in Monferrato

Treville lies in the buffer zone of Monferrato degli Infernot. This component belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage site “The Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato,” which was inscribed in 2014. This broader context complements the local churches, paths and landscape sites with a connection to the cultural and regional history of Piedmont.
