ATL - Cuneo
The Cuneo area is the ideal all-year destination for anyone who loves the mountains, skiers and ramblers alike. Cyclists too are welcome to spend time in the shadow of Monviso, admiring the beautiful views over the hills and exploring the historic villages, lively towns and the palaces of the Savoy dynasty such as Racconigi. But not to be forgotten are the area’s culinary specialities: wines, cheeses, salamis and cooked meats, beef, mushrooms and Sambucano lamb – a paradise for those who adore good food.

Places
Forte di Vinadio
Requested by Re Carlo Alberto, the Forte (Fort) di Vinadio represents one of the most important examples of military architecture from the Alps. It extends length-wise for 1,200 meters, on three levels, which cover about 10 km of interior passageway.
Castello di Mazzč
In the ancient underground parts of the medieval castle is the Museo della Tortura (Museum of Torture): tools and methods from the Holy Inquisition. The building is surrounded by a large park with a scenic view looking out over the Canavese.
Castello di Costigliole d’Asti
Surrounded by a large park, the castle houses an international cooking school and the annual “asta del Barbera” (“Barbera auction”) which has become a not-to-miss event for fans of quality wine.

People
Benedetta Cibrario
“Every corner of Torino exudes literature. I am reminded of my secondary school D’Azeglio, of the legendary Einaudi that captured each and every one of us and of writers like Calvino. I don’t just love his words, I even love his commas.”
Riccardo Scamarcio
"I confess. I have committed the sin of gluttony in Piemonte. Dishes made with Alba truffles are irresistible and are a “must” during my stays in Piemonte."
Gianni Amelio
“Then I envy Torino natives who can live in this city. I shot an important film here: ‘The Way We Laughed’ and when I see it now I get the impression that it was like a last documentary of Torino of the 1990’s. Since then, a process of modification has begun, today the city has changed but, thanks to its strength, it has avoided the contamination of the wrong type of modernity.”
