The hills around the Po

Beyond the Po, the territory is characterized by a luxuriant hill declared a UNESCO MaB Biosphere Reserve and dominated by the Juvarrian Basilica of Superga. Known as Torino’s Hill, it is a large green lung - full of hiking trails

that embraces the city. It is the keeper of lovely towns such as Moncalieri, with its Royal castle; Chieri, home of the famous rubatà breadsticks - present on the tables worldwide - and of the Freisa wine; the hamlet of Pessione,

home of Casa Martini where, still today, the Martini brand is produced for the entire world. From Chieri, along the “Routes of Colors and Flavors”, there are other noteworthy villages, including Pecetto, the village of cherries, and
Marentino, the village of honey, just to name a couple.

On the right bank of the Po, do not miss Carmagnola which, after the aegis of the Marquis of Saluzzo and Savoy, became a very important agricultural center thanks to the cultivation of sweet peppers - celebrated annually with
the National Sweet Pepper Fair.
