• Until the last century, in the tourist imagination, Piedmont was mainly linked to the Alps and the lakes. Otherwise it was a landscape of rice fields, with gray and smoky cities where people went to work. Today many of those factories have become de-industrialized urban spaces and reconverted into eco-museums, places of memory, locations for events: a change of sign in the regional tourist offer which has the flagship in the Olivetti complex in Ivrea, the fifty-fourth World Heritage Site Italian Unesco. Yet with 43% of the territory in the mountain area, Piedmont remains an extraordinary naturalistic destination. The Green Guide scans the length and breadth of its valleys, with particular attention to those that combine biodiversity and material culture – exemplary cases, the Val d'Ossola and the Maira valley – under the aegis of sustainable tourism. From Turin to the Savoyard residences on the hill, from Cuneo to Vercelli and the rice plain, from the Langhe to Monferrato, nature and culture continually take turns even between the pages, thanks to the ideas of a large pool of authors engaged in the field.
