Places

Villa Scott

The little manor house, one of the most important examples of Torino Liberty architecture, is linked to the name of Dario Argento who set his film, “Profondo Rosso” (“Deep Red”) here – perhaps his most emotional film and the one with the strongest visual effects.

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.

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.


People

Riccardo Scamarcio

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."

Emanuele Severino

“Piemonte is a land of excellent cuisine and extraordinary wines. I was deeply impressed by the Langhe landscape. To admire these hills makes you immediately understand the importance that the landscape held for a writer like Cesare Pavese or Beppe Fenoglio. In these past days, I think I felt the same sensations that Pavese did when he came into contact with his hills.”

Zucchero Fornaciari

“Torino, a city whose public has always given me a warm welcome. I have friends here and I think that Torino natives have a great sense of humour. Of course, you have to pull it out of them.”
