Cinaglio — Historically "Free Land" in the Monferrato Hills

Cinaglio has an unusual footnote in local history: unlike most of its neighbours, it was "free land" not answering to any feudal lord until the early 17th century, when the County of Chiusano-Cinaglio was established under the Caissotti family in 1619. Today it's a quiet farming village with a parish dedicated to Felix of Valois.
