About Piedmont

Piedmont (Italian: Piemonte), in the Northern area of Italy, has an area of 25,399 square kilometres and a population of about 4.4 million inhabitants. The name Piedmont comes from medieval Latin Pedemontium, meaning "at the foot of the mountains". Piedmont is surrounded on three sides by the Alps, including Monviso (Mont Vis), where the river Po rises, and Monte Rosa. It borders France, Switzerland and the Italian regions of Lombardy, Liguria, Aosta Valley and for a very small fragment with Emilia Romagna. The countryside is very varied: one passes from the rugged peaks of the massifs of Monte Rosa and of Gran Paradiso (national park), to the damp rice paddies of the Vercellese and Novarese; from the gentle hillsides of the Langhe and of Montferrat to the plains. The capital of Piedmont is Turin. The city is a flourishing, industrious and cosmopolitan European city, which enjoys many architectural developments. The city has a rich culture and history, and is known for its numerous art galleries, restaurants, churches, palaces, opera houses, piazzas, parks, gardens, theatres, libraries, museums and other venues.
