Places
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.
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.
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.

People
Alessandro Del Piero
"Torino is the city where I arrived at 18 and where I became a man, where I bought my house and fit it to suit me over the years, where the friends I see live, the city where my wife was born."
Daniel Birnbaum
“Torino’s most successful work of art? The Mole Antonelliana, it’s obvious. The best works are those that have such a positive meaning that the population absorbs them as a symbol of its own culture. These are works that would be sorely missed, should they be destroyed.”
Caparezza
“And I love eating in Torino, most of all the raw meat. I like this city. I’ve been to the Museo del Cinema three times and even took a walk up the hill. After a few kilometres I was at the top of Colle della Maddalena and could see the entire city.”
