What others are saying about Piedmont

French tolls.

Hi I travel across to northern Italy multiple times a year.

For various reasons I avoid the Swiss route and travel via France Monte Blanc route.

The French tolls seem to getting rather expensive and I am interested in how to reduce this cost down.

Planning on being in Turin Feb18 and 19. Would really welcome any authentic Piemontese restaurant (piola) recommendations? 

My wife and I are from the US citizens and have recently purchased a property in Piedmont near Moncalvo. We are in the process of engaging a local architect to help us with the restoration and renovation of the property.
