Saluzzo is one of the best preserved medieval villages of Piedmont, located at the feet of Monviso<\/strong> and at the mouth of the Po and Varaita valleys<\/strong>. It was the capital city of an ancient Marquisate who dominated south-western Piedmont from 1140 to 1548 to the point of carving out a prestigious place among the great European kingdoms. Tourists, walking through the streets of the ancient village, are conquered by scenarios of other times: Via S. Pellico and Piazza Cavour to go shopping or sip coffee in the elegant outdoor areas. Saluzzo has a tradition and a wealth of skills in the artisan sector, especially wood, with a history rooted in time. START\/Storia Arte Saluzzo<\/strong> in spring brings together the tradition of the\u00a0area with the contemporary and young people. Professionalism, sensitivity and experience: so the Saluzzo artisans respond to the commissions of architects, interior designers, customers who are looking for new artifacts and new furnishing solutions.<\/p>\n A prominent place among the products of the\u00a0area belongs to fruit-growing<\/strong>, cultivated by careful producers and exported all over the world. The breeding of the Piedmontese bovine breed offers prized meats. Fruits and vegetables, meats and cold cuts, cheeses and honey stand out on the weekly market on Wednesdays and Saturday mornings. Saluzzo enjoys an excellent location between the valleys of Monviso and the Po river with the source a few kilometers away, whose area has been recognized by UNESCO<\/strong> as a cross-border Biosphere Reserve of Monviso (Mab)<\/strong>. The rich calendar of events in Saluzzo runs throughout the year and offers many events: the Carnival,<\/strong> the \"Marquisate Half Marathon\"<\/strong>, the \"Mercantico\"<\/strong>, the collector's market and the object used, the prestigious \"Start\/history and art in Saluzzo<\/strong>\", the curious\u00a0 \"Scarecrow Festival\"<\/strong> of Castellar. \"Effetto Notte\"<\/strong> at the beginning of June starts the intense summer program in which \"C\u2019\u00e8 Fermento\"<\/strong> stands out, the first Italian festival of craft beers. Autumn is the time of the Uvernada\u00a0<\/strong>that anticipates the events of Christmas in music.<\/p>\n","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"stato_borgo":[],"village-conntection":[51023],"borghi":[76341,76337],"village-category":[35900,35898,164887,35890],"class_list":["post-176703","village","type-village","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","village-conntection-saluzzo-it","borghi-cuneo","borghi-piedmont","village-category-authentic-italian-villages","village-category-camper-parking-area","village-category-medieval-village","village-category-village-with-castle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village\/176703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/village"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village\/176703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"stato_borgo","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stato_borgo?post=176703"},{"taxonomy":"village-conntection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village-conntection?post=176703"},{"taxonomy":"borghi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/borghi?post=176703"},{"taxonomy":"village-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village-category?post=176703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
