Lonely Planet hat das Piemont als das 6st wichtigste Reiseziel in Europa gewichtet
Die Piemont (Piemonte) Region Italiens hat in letzter Zeit viel Interesse erzeuget, vor allem mit seiner Aufnahme in die UNESCO Welterbe-Liste.
Jetzt folgen mehr Auszeichnungen. Die Region ist nun als das 6st interessanteste Reiseziel in Europa gewichtet worden und dies durch den in Europa ansässigen Herausgeber und Autor von Lonely Planet, dem größten Reiseführer und Buchverlag der Welt.
Lonely Planet erwähnt Turin als ein grossartiger Ort den es zu sehen gilt, vor allem das Ägyptische Museum und erwähnt weiter die durch die UNESCO-geschützten Landschaften der Langhe, Roero und Monferrato. Weitere Würdigung finden auch die wundeschönen Städte wie Barolo, Barbaresco und La Morra.
Hier ist eine Liste der 10 wichtigsten Plätze, die Lonely Planet zu besuchen empfielt:
1. Akureyri, Island
2. Leipzig, Deutschland
3. Die Azoren, Portugal
4. Malaga, Spanien
5. Belgrad, Serbien
6. Piemont, Italien
7. Baku, Aserbaidschan
8. Amsterdam, Niederlande
9. Tromsø, Norwegen
10. Porto, Portugal
Piemont hat wirklich viel zu offerieren in Bezug auf Kultur, Küche, Weine und schöne Landschaften und meiner Meinung nach ist die Anerkennung, die es jetzt empfängt, voll und ganz verdient.
The Langhe,Roero and Monferrato are now included in UNESCO World Heritage Site Lists
The vineyard landscapes of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato in Piemonte are now included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List, bringing the total number of Italian sites to 50.
For those of us who live in this beautiful region of Italy, this news is long overdue. It really is a great achievement and victory for the many people who have worked hard over the years to give our region this international recognition.
Indeed UNESCO brings a much awaited recognition to the generations of farmers who over time have contributed to shaping this area of outstanding natural beauty and an incentive with even greater responsibility to continue in the future.
The reason for the inclusion was cited as “an exceptional recognition to the historical tradition of grape growing, winemaking processes, a rural economy and a social context based on the culture of wine”
Some of the UNESCO sites include the DOCG Barolo and Barbaresco vineyards and the towns of Barolo, Castiglione Falletto,Grinzane Cavour,La Morra, Monforte d’Alba, Novello, Serralunga d’Alba, Barbaresco and Neive.
Unesco recognition will bring substantial benefits to the area including at least a 30% increase in tourism over the first five years which in itself will have a positive impact on local business and economy in the area. Figures suggest that tourists arriving in the area will increase from 667,000 in 2011 to over 850,000 and generate more than 280 million euro.
Maurizio Marello the Mayor of Alba declares ”Today is a new beginning in which we have even greater responsibility to protect, develop and promote Alba, Langhe, Roero and Monferrato.“
The new President of the Piedmont Region Sergio Chiamparino commented „This is a starting point and not the end. UNESCO has recognised the historical, natural and cultural heritage of a land that is the archetypal landscape of European wine.”
These are exciting times for our region…
Life in Italy – Setting up a new life in Italy.
We’ve been living and working full time in Italy for many years now and as such I feel we have built up a strong understanding of both the country and it’s people.
We have many clients that contact us with a view of making a permanent move here like Lesley and I have done, and understandably have many questions to ask. How easy is it to speak the language? Is it easy to find work? Is the environment good for children? Do you miss England? What are the most important factors to consider when you make the move here?
My personal opinion is that you must have a true desire to make it work and be realistic in your planning before you come over.
My Mother is Italian and although I’ve lived most of my life in England, I certainly had an advantage with the language. I feel that speaking Italian is the key to settling down here and enjoying life. Here in Piemonte there are several institutions that over free Italian lessons to foreigners and although it’s taught in a group environment I think it’s well worth doing.
Living a healthy lifestyle in Italy
I’ve lived in the Piemonte region of Italy for many years now and it’s become very clear from my point of view, that it’s far easier to live a healthier lifestyle here.
One of the major advantages is the good weather of course, this means as a keen cyclist I can get out more which in turn gives me a great feel good factor.
I’ve noticed that in almost all of the villages here, you find great outdoor sport facilities, all with floodlights so you can play long into the night if you so desire. In fact during summer you see many Italians playing football way past midnight. It’s no wonder Italy is so good at the sport.
Most villages have outdoor swimming pools which serve as great entertainment for the kids during the summer break. All these pools have somewhere to eat so you can spend the whole day there and get fit at the same time.
