Piedmont
Piedmont
In the cathedral of Turin, the regional captial, is kept the Holy Shroud, the ancient linen in which, according to the tradition, the body of Christ was wrapped after his crucifixion. There is also the Egyptian Museum and the Sabauda Gallery, full of masterpieces by great European artists. Throughout the rest of Piedmont the natural landscape is spectacular and varied: mountains, valleys, hills, lakes, and the Valgrande National Park. Piedmont is also where some of the great Italian wines are produced.
