Geography
San Marzano Oliveto is located in a panoramic position 300 meters above sea level. It is easily visible from the SS6 road that runs from Canelli to Asti.
The landscape of San Marzano Oliveto is reminiscent of the hilltop villages of Tuscany and Umbria with its almost mystical calm, an irresistible attraction for foreigners, many of whom live here for at least part of the year.
Among these is the German painter Viktor Müllerstaedt, whose works, exhibited in various local exhibitions, are landscapes heavily influenced by fifteenth century Italian art.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
“Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
