.: Settime :.
Settime d'Asti, is far from Asti 9 km, 50 Km from Torino, 120 km from Genova and 100 Km from Milano.
Settime was founded at the seven
mile
of the roman street which from Asti reached the township of
Industria (now called Monteu da Po), already existing at the time of the
Roman Empire. The old village of Settime has been destroyed, together
with the Castle, in 1309 and it was re-build in the nearest hills.
Settime belonged to the Roero Family from 1407 up to the of the
XIX Century. At the beginning of 1700 D.C., during the war to succeed to
the Spanish Emperor, the French people invaded most of the province of
Asti: they entered in the city of Settime in 1703 and left the town only
after having sacked the houses and destroyed the Castle, already
partially destroyed from the soldiers of the Duke of Feuillade, the same
who guided the siege of Turin in 1706.
The next years have been dedicated to re-build the town, the
Castle and the Church.
The Roero Family governed the town up to 1874, when, due to game-debts,
they were obliged to sold out the Castle to the Coconito di Montiglio
Family.
The township of Settime is a part of the Rilate Valley Community together with other 13 towns of this area.
