If you're dreaming of Italy and planning future adventures there, you've come to the right place.

Hello, chow everyone.

Welcome to another episode of Italian Adventures and Stories to Inspire

your travels. Now listeners, I'm not sure if you know, but I'm on a mission to share with you

all the incredible things you can do in the regions of Italy that you might not know so much about.

These are the places that the popular guide books miss,

and we're not sure why,

but they are the places where you'll find the experiences

that will stay in your heart forever.

In this episode, we're returning to the beautiful northern region

of Piedmont in the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy,

where people cherish exceptional food experiences and

some of the world's greatest wines. It was in Piedmont that the Italian royal family had their roots

and where the unification of the diverse principalities on the Italian peninsula were forged.

Piedmont is a region of intellectuals, palaces, castles and industry,

but above all, food and wine. Our good friend and Piedmont guide,

Keloto Muti from Torino Discovery, is joining us again today. She has an enormous passion

for her region, its history and culture. We heard from her last year on episode 134 about the beautiful palaces and castles of Turin

and we're thrilled to partner with her on our tours of Piedmont.
