A Slower Pace in Piedmont

We spent two weeks in a very tiny village called Bergolo in the heart of Piedmont. The campsite was officially closed but they let us park Homer there. The London Greenfields rented a villa 2 kilometres away, so we popped up and down on the scooter each day. The weather was great and the scenery stunning but I have to say that the real reason anyone visits Piedmont is because of the food!!! You usually get 3 to 5 antipastas, then primi piatti ( pasta ),secondi piatti ( meat ) and dolci ( dessert ). Neil's mum and I bought a black truffle in Alba and served it with pasta. One day we had traditional macaroni, which had been hand made by rolling the pasta dough around knitting needles, to get the hole in the middle.
