From the hamlet of San Carlo we continue descending the hill through the village, until the railway station of Baldichieri, an important interchange, as the railway station of Villafranca d'Asti. Then we continue, crossing the SR10, to the Baldichieri center. It was a Roman military outpost, which we have some news dating back to the first century AD. Other following informations dates back to 969 A.D.. First owned by the Bishop of Asti, then destroyed by French troops in 1553, then passed to the Savoy family in 1575 and then granted as a feud in 1619. About the important historical buildings, there is the eighteenth-century town hall, recently restored in many parts, the parish church of San Secondo and the residual edifice of the castle, probably a fortification, now recovered and used for temporary exhibitions and also with a small restaurant offering a splendid view of the valley below. We leave the concentric of Baldichieri, along Viale Benedetto Croce and continue towards Cascina Mandoletta, here we can take the GreenWay, through large wooded areas. The route continues along the ridge until we descend to the valley in the hamlet of Salesina, where we continue northwards in the direction of Cortandone, always crossing wooded areas, alternating part in the valley and on the ridge of the hills. Then, we arrive at the end of the third stage, corresponding to the centre of Cortandone. The town has historically been at the centre of numerous fights between families to gain ownership of the territory. After numerous changes of ownership and discussions that often resulted in aggressions and acts of violence, we reach 1619 where, under the approval of the Savoy court, there will be three consignors, belonging to theBroglia family, Facello and Pelletta. After the sale of the titles and territories of the Broglia family to the Facello's one in 1654, there were only two families for more than a century, when they passed directly under the Savoy kingdom. Important testimonies are the church of Sant'Antonio, the one of San Salvatore and numerous votive pillars scattered throughout the territory.
