Neive
Paved lanes weave between brick houses and ancient noble palaces, which are dotted with flowered balconies that add touches of colour to a village with an ancient flavour.
Neive is a charming village waiting to be discovered, where history and legend are harmoniously intertwined.
We are in the House of the Wild Woman, a museum dedicated to Romano Levi, a grappa producer and artist who designed his own labels, making each bottle a masterpiece. For Romano Levi, wild women are a reminder of the past, when he would meet peasant women among the vines, emerging from their ciabòt — an expression of a free and spontaneous life. Several depictions of wild women can be found throughout the village, and the museum is the perfect place to admire a collection of uniquely labelled bottles.
Discover the House of the Wild WomanIThe old town centre is dominated by the Clock Tower, which is a symbol of the town and marks the rhythm of daily life. It also offers a privileged vantage point from which to admire the landscape.
This medieval gem is also embellished by a myth.
Here, you can be spellbound by the “Wild Woman”, a legendary figure and symbol of freedom and unspoilt nature.
A small museum has been dedicated to her, commissioned by the renowned distiller Romano Levi. He adorned his grappas with hand-drawn labels depicting this mysterious creature, which represents the wild and authentic spirit of the Langhe area.
Neive, listed among Italy's Most Beautiful Villages, hides two gems. One is the Archconfraternity of San Michele, which reopened 15 years ago and is now used by the Macedonian Orthodox community. Whereas, if you go up towards the church, where the fortified core of the village once stood, you will see the Clock Tower, the only part that has remained intact. Inside, the exhibition space is dedicated to Dante Giacosa, a Fiat engineer and the pride of Neive's citizens. With its tower, palaces and churches, the village has become an essential destination for lovers of the artistic and cultural heritage of Langhe Monferrato Roero.
Neive offers a wide range of restaurants and accommodation to suit all tastes, whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a family-friendly atmosphere, or something traditional or modern. Explore a world of adventure, from culture to nature, and choose experiences that will make your trip unforgettable.
