To discover its origins, we must step back in time to the Middle Ages, a period when Alice Bel Colle was a possession of the Counts of Acquesana, later passing under the rule of the Gonzaga family of Mantua, and finally to the House of Savoy. The smallness that distinguishes Alice Bel Colle, however, does not detract from its beauty and uniqueness. Indeed, despite being a small village of 700 inhabitants, it holds a veritable treasure trove of history, culture, and traditions. Examples include the Museum of Contemporary Art, which houses interesting works by renowned artists, the Parish of San Giovanni Battista, and the Church of the Madonna della Fraschetta, which not only serves as a place of worship but is also a focal point during local festivals and demonstrates a strong connection with its inhabitants. Among the culinary traditions, we find the ever-present amaretti biscuits; as for wine, however, there are renowned wines such as Brachetto, Infernotto Barolo, and Moscato.
