Big Bench #17 near Costigliole d’Asti offers quick, scenic compositions over the hilly vineyards of Piedmont. Photograph the bench as a foreground frame with rolling rows behind, and use the curved skyline for clean leading lines. Best light is late afternoon to golden hour; mornings can be hazy. Weekdays are quieter; it’s a rural roadside pull-off—bring water and expect limited facilities.
