People
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."
Margherita Oggero
“This is a very fortunate moment. There a singer-songwriters from Genoa and writers from Torino…a game of destiny for as much as the cultural liveliness pervading a city that overcame an industrial monoculture is capable of influencing the young.”
Mimmo Calopresti
“I adore Barolo wine, it’s one of life’s luxuries. And I adore the fact that it is so profoundly local, incapable of conforming to international vogues.”
