Places

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.

Filatoio Rosso di Caraglio

The Filatoio (Spinning Mill), built between 1676 and 1678, is an extraordinary example of 17th century Piemonte “industrial architecture”. Today, completely restored, it houses the Museo Regionale della Seta (Regional Silk Museum), as well as contemporary art shows.

Forte di Fenestrelle

The largest fortified structure in Europe and the longest wall-structure in the world after the Great Wall of China: a 635-meter inclination, 3 km long, 1,300,000 square meters large, 4,000 steps in the Scala Coperta (Covered Staircase), 2,500 steps in the Scala Reale (Royal Staircase), 5 drawbridges, and 183 lights to illuminate the interior.

“Torino: a magnificent city from an architectural viewpoint. There was a lot of snow and people all over the place the last time we played in Piazza Vittorio during the 2006 Olympic White Nights: truly an atmosphere that cannot be replicated.”

Adrien Brody

“While shooting Dario Argento’s Giallo, I bought a used bicycle at Balon and would go out for a ride along the Po….Gorgeous…Not to mention Piemonte’s cuisine which is smashing….”

Carolina Kostner

“…Torino, which is my second Italian shelter, has an atmosphere that I really like, not only on ice. In Torino, I have found dreamlike places, little classical music shops. I spent an entire afternoon once, chatting with the owner of one of these shops about the history of the Flamenco.”
