Locations

Oratorio/Auditorium

At the top of the old town are the Oratory of Saint Augustine and the Horszowski Auditorium: a natural amphitheater with perfect acoustics, shaped by the natural slope of the terrain. Inaugurated in 1986 by the renowned pianist Mieczysław Horszowski, it has hosted concerts by major artists such as Paolo Conte, Vinicio Capossela, Stefano Bollani, and Aloe Blacc, and is the venue for the Monfortinjazz festival, which will once again take place this July.

Moda Ristorante Venue

A fortified building of medieval origin in the heart of the ancient settlement of Monforte d’Alba, it has been renovated using almost exclusively original materials and respecting the external architecture of the building. Named Moda Ristorante Venue with the idea of primarily making it a place dedicated to fashion, it is a multifaceted and versatile space, yet as welcoming as the homes of the Langhe. Moda Ristorante Venue was inaugurated in the summer of 2012 with the first edition of “Barolo Boys in … offside.”

Le Case della Saracca

Le Case della Saracca is located in the higher and oldest part of Monforte d’Alba. The restoration of the building maintained the medieval atmosphere and look of the original structure, but innovative and technological solutions were created to offer all the comfort for a high-level hospitality.

Ristorante Pizzeria In Piazza

On the center of Monforte d’Alba, in Umberto I° Square, colored tables and chairs sourronded by barrels are the framework for an evening with music and good beers.
