Discover Quarto and find hotels

For orientation, Quarto is divided into Lower Town and Upper Town, and the Church of San Zenone is in the Quarto Inferiore district. The Sentiero di Papa Francesco also passes through Migliandolo and continues as far as Quarto d’Asti, alongside recurring local traditions. So when looking for a hotel, start by considering the purpose of your trip: local history, a hike or a possible event date will lead to different planning questions.

Town layout and San Zenone

Quarto is divided into Lower Town and Upper Town. The Church of San Zenone is located in the Quarto Inferiore district. The town layout and the specific district provide different points of reference: the first divides the village into two parts, while the second identifies the church’s location. If San Zenone is an important cultural reference point for you, keep Quarto Inferiore in mind as the specific location.

Cultural history and collection

The MoC – Museum of Capitolo was established to collect, preserve and exhibit items rediscovered during restoration work, as well as objects historically associated with the house. Its focus therefore encompasses two types of connection: items that came to light during the work, and objects with a historical connection to the house. The museum’s role goes beyond display; collecting and preserving the objects are also part of its stated purpose. If you are interested in cultural history, you can therefore explore the collection through the origins and provenance of its objects.

Another cultural point of reference is the statue of San Secondo. It is kept privately in the family home. Take this private custody into account when planning your trip rather than treating the statue as a regular public stop.

Trail and local traditions

The Sentiero di Papa Francesco passes through Migliandolo and continues as far as Quarto d’Asti. This is a specific point of reference for travelers considering hiking as part of their stay. You can treat the trail as a separate focus in your planning, alongside the church, museum and traditions. If you include it in your hiking plans, check local trail conditions before setting out.

The Palio degli Asini takes place in Quarto. It is a historic donkey race organized by the Pro Loco of Quarto and is one of the recurring traditions. The Fagiolata di Pentecoste is also a recurring tradition in Quarto d’Asti; it was described as a renewed tradition in 2026 as well. If you want to plan your travel dates around either of these traditions, check the current dates.
