Detailed explanation-1: -Piedmont, Italy’s staid northwestern region, is famous for the country’s most tradition-bound cooking-incredibly eggy pastas, vitello tonnato, the boiled-meat dish bollito misto-plus rivers of pedigreed red wines like Barolo, Barbera and Barbaresco.
Detailed explanation-2: -Only one state, Sardinia-Piedmont was ruled by an Italian princely house. The Italian language also had not acquired a common form and had many regional and local variations. So people living in these regions, except Sardinia-Piedmont, would not have thought of themselves as Italians.
Detailed explanation-3: -Piedmont, Italian Piemonte, regione (region), northwestern Italy, comprising the province (provinces) of Alessandria, Asti, Biella, Cuneo, Novara, Torino, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, and Vercelli.
Detailed explanation-4: -Piedmont is a region in northwest Italy, one of the 20 regions of the country. It borders the Liguria region to the south, the Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna regions to the east and the Aosta Valley region to the northwest; it also borders Switzerland to the northeast and France to the west.
