PIedmont is not only wine...cultural holiday as well.

Maybe not a lot of you will come to Italy and visit " PArchi letterari" a series of parks dedicated to famous writes that we're are proud of.
You might come to visit Piedmont and Langhe just for its excellent wines and truffles...and how could we blame you??? You might come for the wonderful landscape and gastronomy ...
well I 'll tell you another good reason to come for...Beppe Fenoglio and Cesare Pavese, alone they worth a trip to this region.
Two very famous contemporary writers, well known all around the world ad translated into different language.
Maybe in a relaxing day...drinking a good glass of red wine you could come across a book as " La Malora" or " Il mestiere di vivere".
You could understand a lot more of this part of Piedmont, called Langhe, if you read some pages of Fenoglio who's so detailed in describing how was life here less than 50 years ago.
I think that is important when you visit a land like this, so reach of history...
