L'Erm orchard of wonders

Dearest gentle readers,

it's now been a long time since we last talked about the ton and our very own Piedmont Ms Sharma now Viscountess Bridgerton 👇

Olivetti the Italian Silicon Valley

If we were to ask you what Martini, Lavazza and FIAT have in common, what would you answer? And if we asked you how they are connected to Bialetti, Alessi, Zegna and Ferrero - think nutella and Ferrero Rocher?

Easy: Turin capital of Piedmont! 

Now imagine a company vision where the wellbeing of the workers directly translates into the highest productivity and revenues for the company itself, and you have the framework of most of our Piedmont companies and brands. 

The most famous and renowned Italian brands and symbols in the world originated by small family owned companies here in Piedmont. Martini in the late 1700s, FIAT in the late 1800s, Lavazza, Bialetti, Alessi and Ferrero in the early to mid 1900s. And their products are the results of the creativity of the company founders and their descendants.

Ms Sharma of Piedmont

We started preparing turinepi22 one year ago these days and the first person we interviewed was our very own "Ms Sharma of Piedmont" aka Jyothi Aimino.

If you are a fan of Bridgerton and have been a Turinepi follower for quite some time, by now you know most of Jyothi Aimino's story.

Bridgerton's Turin

Dearest readers,

it has come to the attention of this author that Turin has always been on a Bridgerton's mood since the 10th century at the very least!
Back then of course, not even the Bridgertons were the family we all know today, and the Midland English dialect was emerging over the others and yet... in Turin, in 940, we had already set our local ton that turned royal in 1280.

TurinEpi19 talk show 1

Time flies by so quickly when you have fun and, not only the days in the Langhe and Roero wine districts were packed with fun visits, food and wine but also the Turin days were full of food, fun and sighs.
