A municipality in the province of Cuneo, the village of Vezza d'Alba is perched on a hill and is dominated by the white church, whose bell tower profile stands out clearly and from where it is possible to admire a unique panorama of the countryside. The inhabitants are mainly devoted to agriculture: of major importance for the local economy is the cultivation of vines, from which excellent wines are produced, and the cultivation of fruit, in particular a variety of pear much appreciated.
The area was inhabited since ancient times by popoulations of pre-Ligurian and pre-Indo-European origins. The Roman conquerors left evidence of their presence in the building of roads and in the "fundus Rubiano". Vezza was extremely important in the early Middle Ages and the presence of the Lombards here is almost certain. Around 1200 the area submitted the domain of the Bishop of Asti. It became fief and belonged to the De Vicia until mid-XIV century, when it was occupied and devastated by the Compagnia degli Inglesi (Company of the English). In the second half of the XIV century the village was ceded to the De Ponte of Asti and in the XV century to the Roero. After the death of Oddone Roero, head of the Vezza and Guarene families, the fief was confiscated.
