The name of the region comes from the fact that it is “at the foot of the mountains”, the imposing Alpine ranges with famous skiing resorts such as Sestriere. Its principal city Turin is a centre of baroque art and has one of the most important Egyptian museums in the world. Piedmont is a large industrial centre and the wine produced on its southern hills (Barolo and Barbera) is particularly important.
