Piemonte
Piemonte is the westernmost region of Italy.
It borders France and Switzerland, Valle d’Aosta, Lombardy, Emilia Romagna and Liguria.
Regional capital is Turin. Other provinces are: Alessandria, Asti, Biella, Cuneo, Novara, Verbania, Vercelli.
The cities of Piemonte are both rich in history and attractions for leisure.
Turin has been the first capital of Italy (1861) during the reign of Savoia family.
After the Second World War it became mainly a typical industrial city, home of Fiat.
Today the city is becoming more and more a cultural landmark for the whole Italy. Among the most interesting visits: the Holy Shroud (the shroud of Jesus Christ, always questioning among skeptics) that is located in the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista; the Egyptian Museum, the world’s second-biggest one after the Museum in Cairo; the Cinema Museum inside the Mole Antonelliana, high more than 160 meters; the Automobile Museum; the many royal residences of the Savoia including the Reggia Venaria Reale, UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The name of Piemonte has been linked to three famous industrial brands: Fiat car factory, Olivetti, where the legendary typewriter Lettera 22 has been invented and Ferrero, the beloved factory that created the so famous Nutella.
