Places
Castello di Mazzè
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.
Historical Wine Cellars in Canelli
The wine cellars – which hold ancient barrels perfectly lined-up – have brick arches, lowered large round arches connected to each other by tunnels that reach into the layers and strata of earth which have formed over the centuries.

People
Ludovico Einaudi
“The paths of the hills and the rows of trees and vines remind me of the flow and the motion of waves. Natives of the Langa area are closed and reserved, but behind the façade hides an emotional soul. I recognise this in myself.”
Luis Sepúlveda
“Like my paternal grandfather used to say: one is a native of the place where he feels most at ease and right now I feel wonderful in Torino for instance, as well as in Gijon. That’s what life is all about.”
Roberto Faenza
“With its ancient and distressing twilight vice, Torino is the abstract, metaphysical space, the beautiful stranger, aloof and a bit mysterious that I have chosen to bring to the screen for Giorni dell’abbandono based on Elena Ferrante’s novel with the same title.”
