The essence of this region could not be captured better than through the name to which it was bestowed, Piedmont (Piemonte) meaning, “at the foot of the mountain.” In this region, the snow capped peaks of the magnificent Alps create a natural border between France and Switzerland and serve as an ever present backdrop, lending a dramatic scene as one explores the region. The rolling foothills of Piedmont, flowing from the mountains to a wide and fertile plain, add another element to the region's geographical uniqueness. Not only is Piedmont aesthetically captivating, it also awes a visitor with its economic and agricultural competency.
With Turin as Piedmont’s industrial capital, the region thrives- FIAT calls Turin home, as do a host of other companies. In addition, agricultural products including dairy, maize, rice, wheat and grapes contribute greatly to this region’s economy. The world class grapes grown in Piedmont produce some of the most exquisite wines ranging from Barolo to Barbera, Dolcetto to Asti Spumonte- a lovely sparkling wine that has far surpassed its reputation as poor man’s champagne. Truffles are grown in Piedmont as well, with a festival devoted to them that occurs annually.

This region truly has a lifetime's worth of sites and adventures to experience. The first step is simply, to begin.
