Piedmont

Piedmont is the second largest region of Italy and lies at the foot of 3 Alps, the highest peaks and largest glaciers in Italy. It borders Switzerland and France and sweeps breathtaking landscapes, cultural infused gastronomy, well-preserved ancient villas, and medieval castles with stories to tell. Sprouting from the Austrian wars, Piedmont’s transformation began in Turin known for its architectures from the renaissance, baroque, neo-classical and art nouveau eras. Travelers can visit religious sites of the Sacri Monti, take a boat ride on Lake Como, ski the slopes of Bardonecchia, hike the Cesana Forest or gawk at the intricate details of La Venaria Reale.
