Places
Biblioteca Reale di Torino
The Biblioteca Reale (Royal Library) houses important collections of manuscripts, illuminated manuscripts, and engravings. Besides its 2,000 drawings, it has several drawings by Leonard Da Vinci, among which are: the Self-Portrait, the Volto dell’Angelo (the Angel’s Face), the preliminary drawing for the Vergine delle Rocce (Virgin of the Rocks), and the Codice sul Volo (Codex on the Flight of Birds).
La “Bollente” di Acqui Terme
This is an elegant, octagonal temple-structure inaugurated in 1879. This eclectic structure has a spring where sulfuric-salty-bromine-iodic water flows at a temperature of 74.5 degrees Celsius.
Abbazia di Novalesa
Near the monastery, there are four chapels dedicated to Saint Mary, Saint Salvador, Saint Michael, and the most important one to Saint Eldrado which has two splendid fresco cycles (from the late 11th century) narrating moments from the lives of Saint Eldrado and Saint Nicholas.

People
Sergio Rubini
“Torino is a city that one could decide to live in. It’s outstandingly good to arrive in Piazza Carignano and go to dinner at the Cambio, stroll through Piazza San Carlo or go for a ride to Porta Palazzo amongst the different colours, smells and languages”.
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."
Eleonora Giorgi
“For me, it’s like going back to being a little girl, when I used to spend the month of September on my grandfather’s estate in the Monferrato area. I remember the grape harvest with the oxen and baskets filled with grapes… but today’s Langhe area is even more beautiful: they were successful in maintaining an extraordinary harmony.”
