Green Big Bench

Perched amidst the picturesque landscapes of Fontanile, in the Province of Asti, the Green Big Bench offers a whimsical and relaxing experience. Part of the Big Bench Community Project (BBCP), this giant green bench serves as both a tourist attraction and a symbol of the region's commitment to local culture and artisan traditions. Visitors can sit on the oversized bench and appreciate panoramic views of the rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves that characterize the Monferrato area. The BBCP initiative aims to support local communities and tourism by installing these benches in scenic locations, encouraging visitors to rediscover the landscape from a new perspective. The benches are designed to be placed in panoramic and contemplative locations, away from large buildings, offering a unique experience off the beaten path.Fontanile itself is a charming village with a rich history. Once a fortified town, it features remnants of defensive walls and historic churches. The Green Big Bench provides an excellent starting point to explore the surrounding area, including nearby wineries, distilleries, and other attractions in the Monferrato region. Whether you're seeking a peaceful moment of reflection or a memorable photo opportunity, the Green Big Bench offers a delightful experience in the heart of the Italian countryside.
