Museo Diocesano San Giovanni
The former church of San Giovanni, beside the Duomo and probably Asti's first cathedral, now shows Baldino di Surso's carved wooden choir of 1477 and pieces from the cathedral treasury. Below lies an 8th-century crypt with recycled columns and capitals, some of them Roman, and the hall hosts regular temporary exhibitions. Entry is by donation.
