Events in Monferrato — January 2027

An exhibition of drawings by Antonio Guarene about Asti and its Palio, at the Museo del Palio in Palazzo Mazzola, open from June 2026 to May 2027.

The New Year's Day concert of the Orchestra Sinfonica di Asti at the Teatro Alfieri: every 1 January at 17:00, Viennese waltzes and polkas of the Strauss family and other favourites, played with gags between the musicians, the conductor and the audience.

From 8 December to Epiphany Cocconato fills with nativity scenes: cribs in shop windows and corners of the old centre, the 'Presepi d'Artista' show in the Salone Comunale, a crochet presepe, and a life-size presepe of 'babacci' figures along the parish church steps, lit at night.

Castagnole Monferrato's Christmas nativity show: from early December to Epiphany the Tenuta La Mercantile estate fills with handmade presepi — recycled-material scenes, mechanised cribs, period settings and work by schoolchildren — with workshops, a Christmas concert and a Befana treasure hunt.

Casale's winter theatre and dance season at the nineteenth-century Teatro Municipale — a run of prose, comedy, ballet, operetta and music from November to April, with big names off the Italian touring circuit.

Canelli's winter stage season at the Teatro Balbo, run by the Fondazione Egri dance centre. Contemporary dance, prose, music and shadow theatre play on single evenings from October to May, with a few family matinées.

Casale's classical season, October to May: chamber and piano recitals in the Accademia Filarmonica's Palazzo Gozzani di Treville, and orchestras and star soloists at the Teatro Municipale.
