Piedmont info
The main local dialect is Piedmontese. Occitan is also spoken by a minority in the so called Occitan Valleys. Franco-Provençal language is also spoken by another minority in the alpine heights of the Province of Turin. The name Piemonte is a contraction of the Italian "Ai piedi del monte", meaning "At the base of the mountain".
Piedmont is surrounded on three sides by the Alps, including the Monviso (Mont Vis), where the Po rises, and the Monte Rosa. It borders with France, Switzerland and the Italian regions of Lombardy, Liguria, Emilia-Romagna and Aosta Valley.
