The building has a crypt where the relics of San Secondo are kept.

The building, dedicated to the town's patron saint, stands on the site where the saint is said to have been martyred in 119. It was built in Gothic style between the 13th and 15th centuries. The beautiful tripartite façade dates back to 1462. Inside, there are flags from the Palio, the horse race held every year on the third Sunday in September. Since its creation, an artist has made one for the winner and one for the church. The 10th-century crypt houses the relics of San Secondo.

belle église avec un polyptyque intéressant
le polyptyque de Gandolfino da Roreto à gauche est intéressant. La crypte est la partie la plus ancienne avec le sarcophage en argent avec les restes de Saint Second. La chapelle de droite est très intéressante avec les prix mis en jeu chaque année

Très joli
Très bel édifice de l'intérieur, comme de l'extérieur! Vous ne pouvez pas le louper, sur la place principale. Les drapeaux de la course du Palio sont bien visibles à l'entrée et témoignent de cette riche tradition.

Belle collégiale, à voir sans doute si vous êtes de passage à Asti. De dimensions plutôt petites pour une église italienne, l'intérieur est sobre et élégant avec les lignes gothiques des arches et colonnes. L'extérieur, en brique, fait penser au sud de la France.
