Neive is a town of 3,300 people (2020) in Piedmont, Italy. It is included among the "most beautiful villages in Italy" (I borghi più belli d'Italia) and has been awarded the orange flag by the Italian Touring Club.
The atmosphere of the ancient village has been maintained thanks to the winding cobbled streets that are arranged in rings around the top of the hill or that rise towards the Clock Tower (13th century), symbol of the ancient municipality.
Like many villages in Piedmont, Neive is known for its barolo and barbaresco wineries.
The city is 54 km from Cuneo International Airport, which is connected to the city by aerobus; national and international flights depart from this airport.
The city of Neive can be reached via the A33 Cuneo-Asti motorway and the A6 Turin-Savona motorway.
The nearest station is Alba, from where bus connections to Neive leave.
Neive is connected with other places through the Bus Company.
The historic centre retains a medieval structure that thickens in the upper part where some vestiges of the shelter remain, although the ancient castle was destroyed in 1276 during one of the many wars between the municipalities of Asti and Alba.
The heart of the village is represented by Piazza Italia: almost an 18th-century living room which overlooks the administrative offices of the country. You immediately notice a white building - the ancient Palazzo del Municipio - with slender arches and pilasters, which bears a conspicuous municipal coat of arms at the top, under the clock.
The offices of the Municipality are now on the other side of the square, in a building with an exposed brick facade, the Palazzo Borgese.
Other historical memories are represented by the numerous terracotta buildings:
