Italian castle weddings "Royal castle" near Alba Cn, designed
and built by its owner Carlo Giacinto Roero from 1736, is an example of
Piedmontese Barque architecture. Inside, the Chinese Rooms are
particularly beautiful, decorated with upholstery dating back to the
18th century, from the East Indies Company. The castle is surrounded by
a garden designed in 1740, in which the strict geometry of the hedges
creates fascinating perspective effects.
Specialty Foods of Piedmont - The
white Alba truffle is the most delicious and sought-after truffle in the
world. This “noble mushroom,” as the ancient Romans called it, is found
in the Langhe & Roero, the hilly countryside around the town of Alba.
The gathering of white truffles, between October and November, when they
have reached the peak of flavor, is a difficult process requiring the
knowledge of a trifulau, or professional truffle hunter (and his trained
dog) who will keep secret the areas where he knows truffles to grow.
Truffles usually weigh between two and four ounces. Sliced raw and
paper-thin, the rich flavor of the white truffle enhances the flavors of
even the simplest local dish, from the simplest tagliolini (thin egg
noodles) to the most elaborate beef filet.
The best-known wines of this region
are Barolo, Italy's most celebrated red, and Asti Spumante, a
sparkling white. Barolo wine is produced in the hills surrounding the
town of Alba, where there are a number of wine museums. Alba itself is
one of the region's most interesting towns, with medieval towers,
Baroque and Renaissance churches, and cobbled streets full of life
