Bra
Birthplace of Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement, Bra is a gastronomically focused town in Piedmont's Roero area whose main claim to fame extends to hosting "Cheese," a biennial international festival of artisanal cheese makers. The University of Gastronomic Sciences, the world's first, has its main campus at Pollenzo within the town's boundaries. The centre holds notable Baroque churches, including Santa Chiara by Bernardo Antonio Vittone and a church of St. Andrew with a facade designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, set among vineyards and within reach of the wider region's UNESCO World Heritage sites.
