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."
Gerard Roero Di Cortanze
“There must be a psychoanalytic bond between Torino, Piemonte and myself. Every time I come to town, I feel at home, as if the doors to my own house were being re-opened. I have never lived in this city. Every time I’m here it is as if I put my foot on the fog of a ghost, face to face with my past. Torino is my imaginary life, a double retrospect, a flashback…”
Paolo and Vittorio Taviani
"When we arrived at Piazza Castello, immersed in its new light, we said to each other that it was time to set the dolly up here for the camera."
