Whether you want to sip hearty red wine paired with premium white truffles, to see the birthplace of Fiat, to scope out a new movie location, or to participate in a medieval orange throwing contest (more on that below), Piedmont is the place for you. Here, five off-the-beaten-path towns in the region that you need to visit.

Ivrea
It might be surprising that this seemingly provincial town, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018, is actually celebrated as an “industrial city of the 20th century”. But spend a few minutes here and you’ll understand why. Ivrea is built in two halves, modern and historic, thanks both to innovative urban planning as well as to the Olivetti company, an international pioneer in typewriters, calculators, and early computers.
