 Italian Visits - Welcome to Piemonte
The Piemonte area evolved into an independent kingdom from about 888 to 963, during which time Holy Roman Emperors made many unsuccessful efforts to annex Piemonte.
Finally, at least in a nominal sense, Piemonte (with parts of modern Lombardia and Liguria), became part of the Holy Roman Empire with the founding of the House of Savoy, a dynasty that lasted until, and continued long after, the unification of Italy in 1861.
Today, Piemonte's economy, one of the most vibrant in Italy, is supported on a mix of industries, from car manufacturing in Turin (Fiat) to farming (dairy farming wheat, grapes, maize, rice) and associated agricultural production (wine, dairy products), to tourism.

 Wine and Food - Food - Regional Cooking - Piemonte - Made In Italy On Line
The Piemontesi created the nation of Italy and this unarguable truth has caused for years a number of complexes for the rest of the Italians.
The first citizen to call himself Italian was the Piemontese Camillo Cavour, considered by some compatriots "with English ideas, the French language, Cavour is certainly not full of Italian characteristics....." The very same jealousy expressed towards anything from Piemonte is echoed in the cookbooks of the era.
The second courses served in Piemonte reflect the French influence, for example "Brasato al Barolo" (braised beef with Barolo) and "Finanziera." The latter was originally a stew.
