From Chris Bangle's Big Benches, now a symbolic attraction of the Alta Langa, comes the BIG BENCH COMMUNITY PROJECT (BBCP) initiative to support local communities, tourism, and the artisanal excellence of the villages where these oversized installations are located.

A beautiful yellow Big Bench stands at the top of the Belvedere di Montalto Pavese, also known as Costa del Vento, a green area with a fantastic 360-degree panorama, key features for green tourism, ideal for families, hikers, and nature lovers.

HOW TO REACH IT From the center of the village, head towards Lirio - Broni on SP 66, about 800 meters, take the right fork to Belvedere - Madonna del Vento and continue for 1 km to the Madonna del Vento chapel. Then, you can walk along a dirt road for a few hundred meters up the hill.
