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.

Palazzo Callori a Vignale Monferrato

The building, erected during the 15th century, houses Monferrato’s Regional Wine Cellar (Enoteca). The ancient cellars in tuff are still used to store prized wines and grappas.

Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens

Villa Taranto and its gardens, which look out over Lago Maggiore, have a vast botanical trove that includes about 1,000 plants, which until today had never been cultivated in Italy, and about 20,000 varieties and species of particular botanical importance.



People

Joanne Harris

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."

Alain Elkann

“Torino remains a beautiful city, but not only that, it is also a serious city in which one can work well. One feels protected…Then, in those hills on certain winter days when the sky is blue and the air is clean, it’s like being in Kathmandu”.

Walter Dang

“Torino’s ladies are the ideal interpreters of my creations, balanced between classicism and experimentation. They never much attention to brand names, dressing in an understated way focusing on substance and not appearance. They want to be original without being brash.”
