It happens, for example, in Vercelli, where the oldest known English manuscript is found and consulted by scholars from all over the world. This is the Codex Vercellensis Evangeliorum, the so-called Evangeliary of St. Eusebius, and is a fourth-century manuscript.
But Piedmont, with its thousands of landscaps, is also the region where entrepreneurship has become a school, gaining international fame: from Ferrero to Lavazza, from Fiat to Olivetti, and if you are looking for a tasting holiday, Piedmont is the land of truffles (the subject of a prestigious international auction), wines (first of all Barolo) and the Piedmontese beef, the undisputed specialty of the Alta Langa.
