A Leisurely Weekend in Turin: The Piedmontese Capital

A hypothetical three-day weekend in the Turin atmosphere, from the beating heart of the historic center to the Royal Palace of Venaria, the monumental Savoy residence of Carlo Emanuele II, museums and historic buildings make it a cultural network connected ad hoc for every tourist.

Turin and the Countryside

Langhe, Roero and Monferrato

When you think of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, gentle hills covered with vineyards come to mind, small villages surrounded by fields, medieval churches and castles, smells of wine, truffles and chestnuts... a sense of tranquility mixed with beauty: because the territory between the provinces of Alessandria, Asti and Cuneo is really a microcosm of different environments in which man and nature have gone hand in hand for centuries.

 

UNESCO decreed it in 2014: the vineyards of Langhe, Monferrato and Roero are worthy of recognition as a world heritage site. Six specific areas in 29 municipalities have been awarded for their history and the indissoluble connection between man and landscape. From here, you can discover a wealth that goes beyond Piedmont's borders and becomes of global importance.
