Places
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.
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.
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
Nanni Moretti
"It seems to me that Torino had a rush of pride with the winter Olympics; I remember that during that time, I would hear a lot of people surprised at the city’s reawakening: that feeling is still there."
Achille Bonito Oliva
“There is a touch of eroticism in a city (Torino) that appears to be dominated by an urban geometric shape tied to French style of road-building, that has always hidden its fire under the ashes, in a collective unconscious that smoulders and emerges every so often.”
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”.
