What are the best blogs about Piedmont?

Anyone who loves Piedmont knows that this region isn’t defined solely by its mountains, vineyards, or historic cities. What makes it truly special are also the stories, the perspectives, and the words of those who live here and explore it with curiosity and respect.

Over the years, I’ve come across—sometimes by chance, sometimes through deliberate search—a number of blogs about Piedmont that stand out for their authentic, personal, and passionate voice. Some are created by people who live here; others by those who chose to write about Piedmont in a foreign language, with the aim of making it known beyond Italy’s borders. What they all have in common is a desire to share real experiences, inspire travelers, and offer valuable insights to discover hidden corners or look deeper into familiar places.

In this article, I’ve gathered some of the blogs that, in my opinion, are truly worth reading—whether you’re planning a trip to Piedmont, or, like me, are constantly looking for new ways to get to know it better.

Institutional and cultural websites worth checking out

Alongside independent blogs, Piedmont’s official tourism websites are excellent resources for those planning a trip or looking for updated, well-organized information.

First and foremost, VisitPiemonte.it is the official regional portal. It includes information on events, thematic itineraries, and destination guides broken down by province. Equally useful is Turismo Torino e Provincia, ideal for exploring the city of Turin and surrounding areas. It features interactive maps, themed routes, and an updated calendar of exhibitions and events.

For more local, timely tips and inspiration, GuidaTorino.com is an independent site that’s well-curated and packed with suggestions on things to do in the city and its surroundings—especially during seasonal events.

For art and culture lovers, the official websites of Piedmont’s major museums and cultural institutions are well-structured and full of content:

• Museo Egizio di Torino: one of the most important Egyptian museums in the world, with dedicated sections for exhibitions, opening hours, and family activities;
• Museo Nazionale del Cinema: hosted inside the iconic Mole Antonelliana;
• La Venaria Reale: a UNESCO-listed royal palace with extensive gardens, exhibitions, and events;
• Musei Reali di Torino: a cultural hub that includes the Royal Palace, the Armory, Library, and Galleria Sabauda, with itineraries and historical insights.

Finally, for those wanting to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations, check out the websites of local tourist boards (ATL), such as Langhe Roero Monferrato, Biella Turismo, Valsesia Vercelli Turismo, and Distretto dei Laghi—they offer well-organized and reliable information tailored to specific areas.
