There are lots of reasons to visit the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. You might want to ski the Alps or visit the Olympic city of Turin that perhaps surprisingly is home to a museum housing one of the world's richest collections of Egyptian art, and a world-class automobile museum.

Piedmont is filled with castles and cathedrals, and the food is delicious. This lovely region once belonged to France and the culinary influence is obvious. Piedmont is also truffle land; you should open your wallet at least once to taste these delicious delicacies.And there is the wine.
