Understand
On the jagged shiny tips, the cam jumps.From huge glaciers the avalanche thunders rolling through the roaring forests. But from the silences of the scattered blue, the eagle rises into the sun,and extends, in slow sloping circles, the black, solemn flight.Hello, Piedmont! ...Giosuè Carducci, Rhymes and rates / Piedmont, 1890
The term Piedmont, that from the end of Century XII appeared written in the topographic maps in the Latin version Pedemontium or Pedemontis means "at the foot of the mountain", and in fact Piedmont is surrounded by high mountains on three sides, north on the border with Switzerland, west on the border with Aosta Valley and France, and south with Liguria. to the east it opens to the plain of the Pada Valley.

In the region flow many rivers and streams, all tributaries of the river Pado, which originates at 'Pian del Re', at the foot of the mountain Monviso..
