message: Occitan is not an official language. Occitania is not and it has never been a nation, since it has never existed on the maps so it wouldn't be correct to make a citation about it as "official language" spoken in Piedmont. Occitania is more like a cultural region consisting of some valley of italy and france.

Moncalieri and Rivoli are NOT provincial capitals.

message: I'm new here, and a little confused. Why is the Battle of Meribel (1792) referenced on this page? Although both Piedmont(now in Italy) and Savoy (now part of the Rhone-Alpes region of France) were both at the time part of the kingdom of Savoy, that is not relevant: the Battle of Meribel took place in what is now France, not in what is now Piedmont. The Battle of Marengo (1800) is probably the most significant battle to take place in Piedmont, but is not mentioned. Is there any reason for this? Piedmont 18:24, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I'd like to see Piedmont (disambiguation) moved here and this page moved to Piedmont (Italy). Any problems with that?

replies: text: I second this motion.  It seems to me that a large number of English-speaking users are not thinking of Italy when they are looking for information on "Piedmont."  I could be biased, living in the eastern U.S., but there are more people living near the American Piedmont than the entire nation of Italy put together. -Onyourside 23:19, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

message: In the eastern United States, piedmont is often referred to (in the most general sense) as the area between the Apalachian mountains and the coast. For example, in North Carolina the three cities Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point are known as the "Piedmont triad." While foothills may be a more technically correct term, this is what many east-coast Americans think of.

message: In the section on Economy, it says:
It produces wines of renowned depth such as the famed Barbera, Barolo, Barbaresco and Moscato, as well as lesser known varieties such as Dolcetto, Freisa, Nebbiolo, Grignolino and Brachetto.
This description confuses regions (Barolo, Barbaresco) with grape names (Moscato, Barbera). I think the two types of wine-related items should be separated out. Thoughts?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siruguri (talk • contribs) 18:03, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

message: 1. "From the highest peaks the land slopes down to hilly areas, (not always, though; sometimes there is a brusque transition from the mountains to the plains) and then to the upper, and then the lower the great Padan Plain."
The structure of this sentence is messy and it needs some work.
2. "The Piedmont valley is home to ..."
What is the "Piedmont valley"?
3. "This drop is the result of the natural negative balance"
Balance of what? This sentence is vague and incomplete.
4. "The Turin metro area grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s due to an increase of immigrants from Southern Italy"
The South played a big role but many people also came from the east and northeast of Italy, in particular from Emilia-Romagna and Veneto. This should be pointed out.

message: Good afternoon users. My name is Sara and I decided to give my contribution within the Wikipedia page regarding the Piedmont region. I have worked on the tourism section, where I thought of adding a sub-section concerning the network of the Royal Residences. They are part of the UNESCO sites and they play a major role in the tourism industry of the region, since nowadays they are becoming more and more popular as tourist attractions. That is why I thought it would have been worth adding a reference with regard to this subject. In order to proper do so, I relied on three sources, which are the following: 1) AA.VV., Dimore Reali e la Corona di Delizie -  Palazzi, castelli e ville sabaude in Piemonte I, Torino, La Stampa (2004), p. 1-13; 2) Cortese D., L’azienda turistica: nuovi scenari e modelli evolutivi, Torino, G. Giappichelli Editore (2018), p. 63-77; 3) Cortese D., Giacosa E., Cantino V., Knowledge sharing for coopetition in tourist destinations: the difficult path to the network, Springer (2018), p. 1-12
