Dear meeting professionals,
passion and work: these are the two concepts that best sum up the spirit of the region’s promotion in the last few years. “Passion” as in
Olympic emotion, love for the territory and the ability to seduce visitors with an unending offer. “Work” as in commitment to responding
to high standards of quality and a guarantee of a superior level of reception for both national and international clients.The congress and
trade fair divisions also move along this double track, which has been the pillar of our tourist proposals for some time. Piemonte is an
ideal location for any event. One just has to consider the natural heritage of the region matched with the latest generation congress
centres and accommodation structures, period palaces and historic residences that frame conventions taking place along the riverside.
Thousands of roads lead to enticing flavours and art and the area is easily reached by convenient international air connections. And then
there is Torino, a city capable of uniting the functionality of a modern metropolis with an urban fabric rich in culture, architecture and
environment.
The XX Olympic Winter Games gave a great boost to this sector. At the end of the games, the city inherited futuristic structures like
the Oval Lingotto, built to host speed skating and converted into 20,000 square metres of exhibition space, and the Olympic Palasport,
constructed for ice hockey but destined to become one of the most advanced event centres in Europe.
The estimates computed by the Osservatorio Congressuale del Piemonte, in collaboration with the convention bureau present in the
territory and the local tourist boards, register 700 meeting rooms of which 20 have a capacity of over 500 seats. On equal ground are
hotel accommodations with 770 hotels and a significant increase in the number of rooms and beds as well as in the amount of renovated
or newly constructed sites. All this to stay in line with the needs of MICE clientele. The efforts undergone so far have already given their
first important results, with statistics recording a 30% increase in participants in 2005 with respect to the previous year. We plan on
continuing to work and invest so that Piemonte becomes ever more qualified and competitive as a congress destination, able to offer
the highest quality reception. For this reason, the Strategic Plan for Regional Tourism gives a primary role to this market through targeted
activity like participation in Italia for Events, the new initiative that brings the nation’s entire congressional tourism offer under one brand.
Besides numerous promotional activities, the project schedules action on a local level such as training, updating and the completion of a
system for mapping meeting and incentive services, soon to be usable on the web.
We look forward to seeing you in Torino and Piemonte,
Giuliana Manica

Why Torino
The congress destinations in Piemonte, in particular Torino and Lago Maggiore, have characteristics that congressional clientele
especially appreciate.
1.There are numerous congress centres that range in size from medium to large with a significant amount of meeting rooms and
exhibition space: Lingotto in Torino and, on the banks of Lago Maggiore, the Grand Hotel Dino in Baveno and the Palazzo dei
Congressi in Stresa. These structures are well built and flexible. They can accommodate up to 2,000 participants for scientific
congresses and corporate conventions. For larger conventions, plenary sessions are held in exhibit halls at the Lingotto Congress
Centre or, adjacent to it, at Oval Lingotto, which was constructed for the Olympic Games.
2.The region boasts large hotels located just walking distance from the congress centres or actually within the centres like Lingotto
in Torino. For the Olympics, international hotel chains opened new structures in the city, the mountains, the hills and on the banks
of the lakes.
3.There are small, exclusive accommodations, where guests feel privileged, which are appropriate for high-level meetings.
4.The efficient transportation system is made up of an airport well-connected with Europe and Italy, the nearby hub in Milano
Malpensa, high-speed trains, and the underground railway. This system is even stronger today due to significant investments made
recently.
5.Qualified professionals have demonstrated to the world that they know how to organise complex events with precision and
creativity.
6.Once the capital of Italy, the region was host to the Country’s court and now possesses its rich artistic and historic inheritance
including castles, royal palaces, antique villas, museums, and art collections. These treasures are available for those who wish to
organise exclusive visits and unforgettable events.
7.The fascinating natural environment is another draw to the region. Conventions and original incentive travels can be created
here with the help of professionals who know how to meet the needs of international clients and who are familiar with the Alps,
the hills rich in grapevines and truffles, and the great lakes.
8.A great push toward innovation is demonstrated by research and experimentation centres, universities, international schools,
state-of-the-art industries, hospitals, important designers and innumerable international relations.
9.The region has a very rich cuisine with decisive tastes and sumptuous flavours. Local products include cheese, truffles, stuffed
pasta, rice, selected meat and chocolate. Its 147 exceptional wines are appreciated around the world and include Barolo, Nebbiolo,
Barbaresco, Dolcetto, Barbera and Moscato.
10.The Torino Convention Bureau and the Lago Maggiore Conference are two organizations that represent selected operators which
are supported by the institutions and that provide all of the information on the territory as well as the most appropriate solutions for
the needs of the clients at no cost. Both have great organizational skills and a strong desire to excel in the convention sector.

sports and nature. These resorts are located in the impressive Alpine mountains, that occupy 41% of the regional territory and were
hosts to the Olympic Winter Games in 2006. The region is well-known internationally for its production of high-quality wines and

ART AND CASTLES
On the way to Bardonecchia, one drives by the Sacra di San Michele, the symbol of Medieval Piemonte, then the Abbey in
Novalesa, which is inhabited by Benedictine monks and the awesome and austere fort of Exilles.
Pinerolo
It is called the “horse city” because it houses the National Museum of Calvary Weapons and because it has always been the site
of the Nizza Cavalry battalion.The Duomo and the historic buildings in the city are worth seeing. A short distance from the city
is the fort of Fenestrelle, that extends for nearly 5 kilometres.
Ivrea
The city is famous for its three-day carnival where citizens stage a battle fought with oranges. Castles abound in and around the
city which merit a visit: the castles of Ivrea, Aglié, Masino and Borgomasino. There is also the traditional place of worship and
devotion, the Sacro Monte di Belmonte, which UNESCO named a World Heritage Site.
NATURE AND SURROUNDINGS
Bardonecchia
Bardonecchia is one of the major ski centres in Piemonte with 150 km of slopes alongside the facilities in Melezet, Jafferau and
Colomion-Campo Smith: an ice-skating rink, artificial snow machines and the half-pipe created for the Winter Olympics of 2006.
The Orsiera-Rocciavré Park in the upper valley of Susa is one of the biggest protected areas in the Piemonte mountains. Other
natural wonders include the Parco Gran Bosco in Salbertrand and in Chianocco the Natural Reserve and special gorge called
Orrido, a deep and slender incision in the limestone slopes in Susa's lower valley.
Pinerolo
The Pinerolo area has a fascinating geographic composition.The Rock of Cavour is a rocky mass that rises suddenly up 162 metres.
Pinerolo is the gate to the Val Chisone which ends in Pragelato with the Val Troncea Park referred to as the “valley of the flowers”.
Ivrea
The Gran Paradiso Park is entered at Ceresole Reale. It is the number one national park in Italy having been founded as a Royal
reserve for the Savoy family in 1856 in order to guarantee the survival of the ibex.
Interesting routes that wind through all of the morainic hills extend from Ivrea to the entire canavese area.
EATING AND DRINKING
Bardonecchia
Here one finds typical cuisine from Alta Valle Susa like polenta, cheese and wild game.
Pinerolo
On the outskirts of Pinerolo in Bricherasio, the Cantina Sociale brings together around 200 excellent wine producers. Also nearby,
in Cavour, is the most important centre for apple production in Piemonte. Cavour is known as well for its production of highquality meat. Pinerolo is famous for inventing the “short” panettone.
Ivrea
This city is noted for its dry pastries like the torcetti of Aglié, the canestrelli of Borgofranco and the amaretti of Castellamonte.
The local wines are good too, especially the white Erbaluce and the red Carema.
GOLF
Golf in the area goes from the 18-hole course in the hills of Avigliana to the highest 18-hole course in Europe at 2000 metres
above sea level in Sestriere. Nearby, in Claviere, there is a 9-hole golf course.

metres and the National Park in Val Grande, one of the most extended wilderness areas in Italy.
The Sacred Mounts in Ghiffa, Domodossola and Orta are a peculiarity of the Piemonte region and have been named World
Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
EATING AND DRINKING

ART AND CASTLES
The area offers panoramic tours of castles, many of which are still inhabited, that can be visited during the major event called “Castelli
aperti” (Open Castles). Visits to minor cities of art and artistic treasures scattered in the local hills include Grinzane Cavour, the
hometown of Count Camillo Benso of Cavour, one of the founders of the Unification of Italy. There is also Pollenzo, a Savoy residence,
Govone, another Savoy residence which was built using construction material from the Venaria Reale Castle, and the Guarene Castle.
NATURE AND SURROUNDINGS
There are more than 400 km of dirt pathways to be explored on foot, by bicycle or on horseback.There is also a wide selection
of themed excursions through the hills featuring wine, honey and cheese. Literary and landscape paths abound along the Strada
Romantica (Romantic Road) in the Langhe and Roero, and there is the possibility of participating in simulated truffle hunts.
EATING AND DRINKING
In this land, just 20 km from Alba,“Slow Food” was founded in the small town of Bra.The movement is known throughout the world
and represents a way of life that focuses on the quality and pleasures of traditional cooking. One of the local food products that stands
out is the Tartufo Bianco of Alba, the true king of autumn cuisine.This truffle is especially good when accompanying the great wines of
the territory: Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, Roero, Moscato d’Asti, Dolcetto, Barbera, and Arneis. Among the other excellent, typical
products is cheese from Alta Langa made from sheep milk, honey from Roero, sausage from Bra that is unique in Italy because it is
produced solely with bovine meat, snails from Cherasco, hazelnuts from the Langhe that are used as the base for numerous sweets
like nougat and Nutella, the latter of which was founded and is produced right in Alba. Courses in typical cuisine and tasting seminars
are based on these products and the wine from the Region.
GOLF
There are a 9-hole and an 18-hole golf courses in the scenic hills of the Langhe.

medieval towns in the heart of Piemonte.

Spumante stand out among the others. It is also a land of great gastronomic traditions including salami, cheese, mushrooms, truffles,
agnolotti, fritto misto, bollito, amaretti from Mombaruzzo and torrone.

built in 1100, and buildings from the 1600s and 1700s, enrich the architecture.
In the environs of Mondovì, the Sanctuary of Vicoforte is noteworthy for its unique elliptic cupola and, near Saluzzo, is the Staffarda
Abbey, which was founded by Cistercian monks.

ART AND CASTLES
The Vercelli province is rich in history, art and culture. In Vercelli, besides the historic centre, there is the Borgogna Museum which
is the second picture-gallery in Piemonte. In Varallo Sesia, the Sacro Monte di Varallo is the most important sacred mount in
Piemonte and was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is called “little Jerusalem”, because it was conceived during the
crusades, when pilgrims couldn’t visit the Holy Land. In Alagna Valsesia one finds the Waltz Museum in honour of the population
of German immigrants that crossed the Alps and settled in this land where their traditions are still alive.
NATURE AND SURROUNDINGS
Activities in this area include canoeing and kayaking down the rapids of the Sesia River, as well as winter and summer sports at
the foot of Monte Rosa.This is where enthusiasts find the Margherita hut, the highest refuge in Europe at 4,554 metres. Paths are
located in the riverside parks of the Po and are ideal for walking or bicycling through the rice fields and woods.
EATING AND DRINKING
The area has a rustic traditional cuisine rich in genuine ingredients like Valsesiane toma, green beans, salami, frogs and rice, the
main food product of Vercelli. The food is accompanied by local red and white wines like the Gattinara, a red wine DOCG
certified.
