Castello di Agliè

Castello di Agliè

This sumptuous home was built, beginning in 1646 following a design by Amedeo di Castellamonte, by Filippo d’Aglie, statesman, literary man, choreographer, and adviser to Madama Reale, on the ruins of an ancient fortress.

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.

Forte di Vinadio

Requested by Re Carlo Alberto, the Forte (Fort) di Vinadio represents one of the most important examples of military architecture from the Alps. It extends length-wise for 1,200 meters, on three levels, which cover about 10 km of interior passageway.


People

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."

Wim Wenders

"I could live in Torino if they offered me an office on the top floor of the Mole Antonelliana, a location perfect for a director."

Joanne Harris

"The Langhe countryside is breathtakingly beautiful - it’s enough on its own, but what has truly struck me is the sense of community and the respect and love that grape-growers have for the land and for the wine they create."
