Garessio in three views: the old town, a river crossing and Casotto

Three distinct videos introduce Garessio’s historic centre, the new Tanaro bridge and the former Carthusian charterhouse at Casotto.

The Museo Diffuso Cuneese’s short portrait is the broadest introduction in this group. It brings together Garessio’s old-town lanes, gates, bridges and churches, placing the historic centre in the context of the upper Tanaro valley. Treat it as a visual orientation to the place rather than an updated guide to opening hours or services.

Another view of Garessio

La Guida’s report records the 2021 proposal for a new Tanaro crossing designed by Garessio-born Giorgetto Giugiaro. Its value is as a document of the discussion around reconnecting the two sides of town after the earlier bridge was lost; it shows the design project, not the bridge as ultimately built. Rai’s 2025 coverage documents the later inauguration of the Ponte Odasso.

Another view of Garessio

Rai’s Camper segment visits the Castello di Casotto, the former Carthusian monastery transformed into a Savoy hunting residence. It takes the viewer beyond Garessio’s compact centre into the municipality’s mountain landscape and focuses on a heritage site with a separate visitor schedule. Check current access and booking arrangements before travelling there.
