What a fantastic afternoon! We planned a lunchtime visit and allowed 3 hours, knowing that Piedmontese food and wine cannot be rushed. However, the food was so delicious and the wines delightful: we stayed 6 hours and left happy, well fed, and well stocked with fine wine. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable and the whole day was a taste of Italy at its best. Thank you very much indeed. We look forward to seeing you again.

We visited the winebank when staying in Albergo dell'Agenzia. The young guides, one for the general presentation and one for the wine tasting, were knowledgeable and friendly. The place itsefel was amazing: there were wines from all parts of Italy, mainly of course from Piemonte. A perfect place to learn more about Barolo, Barbaresco and the other wines.

Mentre ci dirigevamo verso Alba abbiamo fatto una “puntatina” per rivedere con altri occhi questo “angolo pseudo medievale”. Arrivati sulla suggestiva piazza neogotica , ecco davanti a noi comparire questa chiesa , perfettamente inserita nel contesto . La facciata è fortemente caratterizzata in senso "gotico" dall'inserimento di un ricco apparato plastico , i contrafforti sono or¬nati da statue e da baldacchini sormontati da pinnacoli. L’interno è un trionfo di decori, fra cui gli intrecci a finto rilievo della volta, bianchi su fondo azzurro, riecheggianti gli ornati «a foggia di stucchi a fiamma. Molto più interessanti i banchi ed i confessionali, opera di grande ebanista piemontese dell’Ottocento e soprattutto il pregevole coro ligneo cinquecentesco dell’abbazia cistercense di Staffarda presso Saluzzo, spostato qui per volontà di Carlo Alberto. Meritevole di visita.

9. Chiesa di Santa Chiara

Reviewed By Brun066 - Florence, Italy
This church can be easily defined the most beautiful monument in Bra. The architect Bernardo Antonio Vittone, that one of the most important artists of the Rococo in Piedmont, has built it. Around the middle of the eighteenth century, Vittone has performed many interventions into the borders of what was then the Kingdom of Savoy (so, for example, has also worked in Nice); but only in a few cases he has created architectural works from scratch.
Santa Chiara in Bra is one of these works. Featuring a central plan, the church is covered by a complex dome, very elaborate, which has the effect of creating a play of light and dark, then to make the interior of the church very airy.
A visit to this landmark is indeed to be accomplished by those who pass even hastily in Bra. Starting from the Piazza del Duomo (where also the Town Hall is, another building to which Vittone worked), "Via Barbacana" lets get to the church by walking less than five minutes
10. Museo della Scrittura Meccanica

A unique collection of more than 300 rare typewriters dating from the 19th century to the present day, collected and painstakingly restored to full working order by Domenico Scarzello. The museum is hosted by Bra Servizi. From the Hammond n.1 (1884), to the Remington n.5 to the legendary Olivetti M1, this museum is one of a kind. Entry to the museum is free.

If you are in Piemonte this is a museum not to miss. The "Scarzello Collection" is one of a kind. Here you can see the passion of one man - Domenico Scarzello - who has lovingly restored all the typewriters on display (about 300 of them) to full working order. If you are lucky enough he will tell you personally the fascinating story of this wonderful invention. Be sure you have plenty of time available. You won't be disappointed.
