People
Joanne Harris
"The Langhe countryside is breathtakingly beautiful - it’s enough on its own, but what has truly struck me is the sense of community and the respect and love that grape-growers have for the land and for the wine they create."
Carolina Kostner
"The people of Piemonte are rather similar to the people of Alto Adige. That’s probably because the mountains are two steps away…but, in Torino, which is a big city, there isn’t the same atmosphere as there is in my part of the country. Here, there’s everything. Discovering its most interesting sides will be a true pleasure…"
Gianni Farinetti
"I was born in Bra, in the Langhe. I have a true affinity for the countryside. Piemonte is a land rich in moods and history, literary history as well: Arpino, Levi, Ginzburg, and the best loved of all, Beppe Fenoglio – but also many recent writers. In fact, no other Italian city has produced so many beginnings in the last several years as Torino."
