The meeting with the Roman state will produce <strong>epochal &nbsp;changes<\/strong> within the city: in 89 b.C Alba obtained the citizenship under Latin law and took the name of <strong>Alba Pompeiana<\/strong>, radically transformed. After <strong>the fall of the Roman Empire <\/strong>we assist to the arrival of new populations, like that of Lombard, and to the appearance of the <strong>first churches<\/strong>.

During the Renaissance, Alba lost its status of independent city and passed under of <strong>different dominations<\/strong> to get definitively under the <strong>control of the Savoy<\/strong>. In the XIX century the city became the theatre of new transformations: the intervention of the <strong>architect Brusca <\/strong>transformed some squares into real <strong>salons with a neoclassical taste<\/strong>, a style well recognised in the fa\u00e7ade of the city theatre. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alba is a city full of history whose beauty can be tasted walking in the streets of the city centre and visiting the main cultural institutions.
