Event in Piedmont
Piedmont is located in the extreme northwestern edge of Italy that shares alpine peaks with neighboring France and Switzerland, the region of Piedmont (Regione Piemonte) is the 2nd largest in Italy. The Piedmontalps cover the land-locked region on three sides, and the Po River, Italy’s largest, crosses throughthe region, with capital city, Torino (Turin) in the valley. To the west, Piedmont is bordered byFrance; to the north, Valle d'Aosta, Switzerland, to the east Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, andto the south, Liguria. It’s rich and mountainous geography covers the provinces of Turin, Alessandria, Asti, Biella, Cuneo, Novara, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola and Vercel. The name of the region is a reference to the fact that Piedmont sits at the foot of the mountains (piede dei).
Bigger and more diverse then anywhere else on the Italian mainland, Piedmont is known not only as a region rich in cuisine and rich in culture but also the kind of rich that got carried down from the uber-rich Savoy Rulers and their famous baroque and opulent Savoy Residences. Traditional modern day Piedmontese are gastronomically obsessed, overly blessed by scenery and culturally elite. With its mountains, castles and vineyard covered hills, Piedmont’s magical landscape has always been one of the region’s greatest attractions and now, its magnificently restored grand palaces and noble mansions house 40 outstanding museums. Intriguing and romantic, the old medieval routes, fortresses and castles, great lakes and rolling vine-covered hills are all located close enough for about a one hour drive from the center of the region. The Piedmontese palate can almost alone explain the tasting, smelling and eating culture that the region has produced with their sought-after White Truffles (Tartufi Bianchi) the lands of thegreat wines, from Barolo to Barbaresco, and various Dolcetti, birthplace of Vermouth and the hazelnut-chocolate confection we know as Nutella.The diversity of rich, baroque downtown Torino with its fashion and attitude, the Langhe Roero wine country and culinary heartland, the great lake districts and villages of Maggiore and Orta, and the charming small towns such as Alba and Bra, and the surrounding alps each offer a collection of historic sights, bakeries, chocolate shops, acclaimed restaurants, museums and other displays of stunning art, one of a kind stores, and year-round festivals of art, culture and cuisine.
