Monferrato railway revitalization and tourism

Overview

The Asti–Chivasso railway line in Italy is undergoing a revitalization process through the ‘LocoMonferrato’ project. This initiative, supported by the Fondazione FS ‘Binari senza tempo’ program, aims to promote sustainable mobility and slow tourism by connecting local villages with the region’s historical architecture and scenic landscapes.

As part of this cultural and tourist focus, the 2026 program includes various events such as historic train excursions and local food festivals. To support the 65th Monferrato Wine Festival in September 2026, rail services on the Chivasso–Casale Monferrato–Alessandria line will be enhanced. This includes extraordinary weekend connections and late-night services to facilitate travel for festival participants.
