http://www.expo.rai.it - Piedmont on the fly. From the Sacra di San Michele at the entrance of Val di Susa, up until the magnificent scenes of the Langhe and Roero countryside, which together with Monferrato have been declared World Heritage sites for their enchanting landscapes of vineyards. And then off to Turin, with the Mole Antonelliana, the architecture of the Savoys and the sumptuous royal residences. Do not miss the royal Palace of Venaria. Piedmont’s rice fields stretching as far as the eye are astonishing, as is the beautiful island of Isola Bella in the center of Lake Maggiore, which enchants us with its mysterious beauty.

Sibillini Mountains

The Sibillini Mountains, or Sibylline Mountains (Italian: Monti Sibillini) are a mountain group in Italy, part of the central Apennines. Situated between eastern Umbria and the Marche, they are mostly composed of limestone rocks, formed in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic (100 to 50 million years ago) on the bottom of an extinct sea. The land emerged 20 million years ago. Most of the peaks are over 2,000 m (6,600 ft); the highest altitude is reached by Monte Vettore at 2,476 m (8,123 ft).
