We hope to return someday to Torino especially. I wasn’t prepared to enjoy the Musee Nazionale dell’ Automobile di Torino as much as I did. This one sketched while we sipped our capucchino, the corner of Via San Tommaso and Via Pietro Micca. The first is the This we could see from our balcony, Chiesi dell’ Arconfratenita Garibaldi. Our first night we wandered down the via to Bistrot El Puig D’Estelles, definitely a small bistro where the locals ate. First, our views from our hotel balcony, Town House 70 on Via XX September. Will just tease you with a couple of images and sketches. I won’t even begin to touch on what a wonderful stay we had. Stopped in Pinerolo for a walk and lunch at “Kreuzberg.”ĭropped off our car and began our week in Turin. We moved from Asti to Turin, Torino, on our 8th day of the visit. On Piazza Alfieri we dined with style at Ristorante Reale. Our favorite Piazza in Asti was Piazza Statuto.
Saluzzo we stopped for coffee and a sketch of the Parrocchia del Duomo on piazza Garibaldi 1, after our required afternoon gelato, of course. Our road trips took us to Alba, Bra, Cuneo, Saluzzo and SaviglianoIn Alba we had a delightful lunch in a small cafe we came upon, the Vin Cafe on Via Dei Mille. The arched walkways everywhere pleased us greatly. The banners from the big horse race from the week before we arrived. I love the street name – Via Giuseppe Maria Bonzanigo II.Īsti is a charming place. Our quiet street led into the center of the town, and at the other end to the parking lot where we left our car. The courtyard we looked into from our kitchen and small balcony. We took a few day trips and finished each day with a walk around the various piazza topped off with a delicious Northern Italian dinner, and a walk home. We stayed in an apartment in the Old Town, no cars to watch for. I will post separately for our stay in Varenna.Īsti is a small city with much charm. We travel slowly, staying for a week or more in each place as much as we can. I am English and German with a bit of Ireland thrown in for spice, but I love Italy the most of all the places we visit.
In the fall of 2018 we visited Asti and Torino in Piedmont, Northern Italy for two weeks, and then completed our relaxing sojourn with a week’s stay in Varenna on Lake Como, our favorite place in Italy, excepting Sicily, of course, Tom being 100% Sicilian. Tom and I have been fortunate to be able to plan and enjoy a trip each fall.
