Piedmont (Italian: Piemonte, "foot of the mountain") is the Italian region around Turin (
都灵) — birthplace of Barolo and Barbaresco wines, white truffles from Alba, and the Slow Food movement. Also the historical heartland of the unification of Italy under the House of Savoy. The same name also denotes the geological belt at the foot of the Appalachians in the eastern US (often rendered
皮埃蒙特 in that sense).
