Fresonara
Fresonara: a small town in Piedmont
Hello everyone, today I want to talk to you about Fresonara, a town with 660 inhabitants located in the province of Alessandria, in Piedmont. The name is quite peculiar, and there seem to be various hypotheses about its origin. According to the most widespread one, it would derive from "Frassinaria", due to the presence of extensive ash forests in the area. However, there are also other theories, such as the existence of a Saracen fortress or the origin from the name of a Roman family called Fresus.
A brief history of Fresonara
Fresonara has an interesting history, which has seen the territory pass through different ownership. In 969, Queen Adelaide of Burgundy and Emperor Otto I of Saxony donated the place to the San Salvatore monastery of Pavia, with the name of "Frisinaria". Later, in 1179, Fresonara came under the protection of the municipality of Alessandria. Later, it had its period under the control of Facino Cane, who entrusted the fief to Domenico Trotti and Rizzo dal Pozzo. In 1404, the two lieutenants rebelled against Facino Cane, but he reacted by destroying the village and the castle. The territory then became part of the Duchy of Milan, before becoming part of the Savoy possessions in the 18th century.
