Lonely Planet about Piedmont
Travelers in Italy often overlook the northwestern region of Piedmont, but no longer. Turin is a thriving hub of modern art and electronic music, while the surrounding mountains are home to remote Alpine trails and pastoral villages and valleys producing Italy's finest red wines and truffles.
The elegant center of the capital Turin is teeming with cultural treasures, such as a remarkable self-portrait by Leonardo da Vinci in Royal Library, and in the once desolate industrial districts you will now find new art centers like the OGR and the Ettore Fico Museo Museum.
For the best nightlife in Italy, leave the baroque squares and palaces behind and venture into the Dora and San Salvario districts. Outside the city, the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato regions produce some of the world's best-loved red wines, while retaining their rural charm.
And then there's plenty of room for hiking or skiing in the Marine Alps, a dizzying collection of peaks and lakes along the French border.
