Located in north-west Italy, Piedmont is a region surrounded by the Alps, rich in natural beauty, art and culture, but also in ingenuity and creativity, being the cradle of the Italian automobile industry and the birthplace of several Made in Italy products and icons.
Turin, the capital of the region, is a vibrant and constantly evolving city that has diversified its ambitions in recent decades, combining its historical industrial profile with new vocations in the fields of research and technology, education and knowledge, culture and arts, awarded in 2014 as Creative City for Design.
Thanks to its unique history and outstanding natural heritage, made of lakes, hills and mountains, Piedmont is a perfect destination to enjoy in all seasons, satisfying all kinds of tourists, not only fans of exquisite tastes, but also lovers of art, sports, as well as those looking for relaxation and nature-orientated holidays. As a result of its unique history and landscape, the region is home to five UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Savoy Royal Residences. Turin can offer a thousand years of architecture and the mystery of the Holy Shroud.
The region is a great destination for international gourmets, being an ambassador of genuine Italian food and wine culture.
