Explore Pasturana, Alessandria, Italy, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Pasturana map and move it around to re-centre it, switch between the standard street map and satellite imagery, and use the zoom buttons to go from the whole province down to street-level detail.
This page also offers a second, independent map. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open OpenStreetMap coverage of the whole of Italy, with a labelled UTM grid drawn the way an IGM 1:25 000 sheet draws it, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS reading that reports your position in Gauss-Boaga and UTM as well as latitude and longitude. See How to Use This Map below. Local and world news, and the nearby places worth visiting, are further down the page.

SEARCH MAPS. The green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map opens a second, independent map on OpenStreetMap coverage of the whole country. Its search box finds any Italian comune, frazione, mountain or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Pasturana.
Reading the map like an IGM sheet. Click Grid to lay a labelled UTM grid over the map, quoted along the edges the way a printed IGM 1:25 000 tavoletta quotes it — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so a six-figure reference can be read by eye and distance judged straight off the map. Click Measure and tap two points for the distance between them with the grid, true and magnetic bearings, the last being the one to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position for a single GPS fix. It marks where you are and reports it as Gauss-Boaga (the grid printed on the IGM Carta d'Italia), as ETRS89 / UTM (the grid Italy uses today), and as plain latitude and longitude, with a copy button so it can be pasted into a message. It takes one reading and stops, to save the battery. Map tiles need mobile coverage; a GPS reading does not — so the grid reference stays correct in the Apennines and the Alps, where the map itself often will not load.
Usa i pulsanti Map e Satellite per passare dalla carta stradale alla fotografia aerea, i pulsanti + e − per lo zoom, e trascina la mappa per spostarti. Il pulsante 🔍 Search Maps apre una seconda carta su OpenStreetMap con la ricerca di qualsiasi comune, frazione o cima d'Italia, la griglia UTM quotata come su una tavoletta IGM 1:25 000, la misura di distanze e azimut (di griglia, vero e magnetico) e la lettura GPS della posizione in Gauss-Boaga, in ETRS89/UTM e in coordinate geografiche. Le tessere della mappa richiedono la rete mobile, la lettura GPS no: il riferimento resta valido anche dove la carta non si carica.

Pasturana sits among the rolling hills of Piemonte, a quiet landscape where the light often catches the soft contours of the earth. The air here holds the stillness of the inland plains, far from the coastal clamor, shaped by the proximity of the Torrente Orba and the distant presence of Monte Mesma. It is a place of modest scale, including the localita of Bellaria, surrounded by neighbors like Colline del Gavi and Francavilla Bisio. The horizon is defined by the subtle rise of the land, offering a view that shifts with the passing clouds.
Beyond the village, the region reveals a history etched into the soil and stone. A short journey leads to the Forte di Gavi, which commands the surrounding terrain with its austere walls. For those interested in the athletic heritage of the area, the Museo dei campionissimi offers a focused look at cycling culture. Further out, the Area archeologica di Libarna provides a glimpse into the ancient world, while the Collegiata di Santa Maria Maggiore remains a focal point of local life. These sites ground the visitor in a territory defined by its steady, unhurried rhythm.
Pasturana si adagia tra le colline del Piemonte, in un paesaggio dove la luce scivola dolcemente sui versanti. L'aria conserva la quiete delle zone interne, lontana dai clamori marittimi, influenzata dalla vicinanza del Torrente Orba e dal profilo lontano del Monte Mesma. È un centro di modeste dimensioni, che comprende la localita di Bellaria, circondato da comuni come Colline del Gavi e Francavilla Bisio. L'orizzonte è delineato dal mutare costante delle forme del terreno, che cambiano colore con il passaggio delle stagioni.
Nei dintorni del borgo, il territorio rivela tracce di una storia impressa nella pietra. Poco lontano, il Forte di Gavi domina il paesaggio con la sua architettura severa. Gli appassionati possono visitare il Museo dei campionissimi, che racconta la cultura ciclistica locale, oppure spingersi verso l'Area archeologica di Libarna per osservare i resti del passato. Anche la Collegiata di Santa Maria Maggiore rappresenta un punto di riferimento importante per la comunità. Questi luoghi ancorano il visitatore a una terra definita da un ritmo autentico e privo di artifici.

Explore Pasturana, Alessandria, Italy, with an embedded Google street and satellite map — switch between the two with the buttons on the map. Coordinates: 44.75072, 8.74998. Place names, the comune and provincia hierarchy and the population come from Istat: the administrative boundaries of 1 January 2026 and the 2021 census of inhabited localities. Local and world news feeds keep the page current, and the bilingual description is written from the data this site holds rather than copied from elsewhere. The 30 nearby places listed above are drawn from OpenStreetMap, the IGM toponym database and a curated list checked against Wikipedia.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Italian comune, frazione, mountain or landmark by name; overlays a labelled UTM grid quoted the way a printed IGM 1:25 000 tavoletta quotes it; measures distance with grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a Gauss-Boaga reference, as ETRS89 / UTM, and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference stays correct where the map cannot load.
There is no topographic layer on these pages. The Istituto Geografico Militare serves its Carta d'Italia only inside the EU, so an Italian equivalent of the 1:25 000 walking sheet cannot be shown here — the UTM grid over OpenStreetMap is what stands in its place.
Carta interattiva di Pasturana, Alessandria, con veduta stradale e satellitare. Toponimi, gerarchia comune/provincia e popolazione provengono dall'Istat: confini amministrativi al 1° gennaio 2026 e censimento 2021 delle località abitate. Il pulsante Search Maps apre una seconda carta su OpenStreetMap con ricerca per nome, griglia UTM quotata come su una tavoletta IGM 1:25 000, misura di distanze e azimut, e lettura GPS in Gauss-Boaga, ETRS89/UTM e coordinate geografiche. Non è presente un livello topografico: l'IGM distribuisce la Carta d'Italia solo all'interno dell'Unione Europea.
