October is the best time to explore Turin and its surroundings while enjoying the white truffle season and Italian autumn 🍂♥️ ALBA, ITALY — This city in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy takes gastronomy very seriously. Michelin-starred restaurants lurk around every street corner. The Slow Food movement, which champions the use of local produce and time-honoured cooking techniques, has its headquarters in the nearby town of Bra.
