Coniolo

Coniolo lies along the Po Valley, where the rolling Basso Monferrato hills rise above the broad plain near Casale Monferrato. This small Piedmontese comune occupies a transition between river country and cultivated slopes, with vineyards forming part of the agricultural setting. Its identity is inseparable from the former settlement of Coniolo, abandoned after instability linked to the extraction of cement marl undermined the ground; the community was rebuilt on safer terrain. That episode remains an unusual chapter in Monferrato’s industrial past. Explore other webcams around Monferrato to see how this corner of Piedmont relates to the wider Po basin.
