Among the towns of Piedmont, Carmagnola stands out for its pepper-growing tradition, celebrated at the annual National Pepper Fair. The town occupies the broad Po Valley south of Turin, in agricultural country close to the Po River. Carmagnola peppers, grown in several local varieties, are central to its culinary identity and take centre stage during the September fair. In the historic centre, the brick Castello di Carmagnola, now housing municipal offices, recalls the town’s medieval past. Arcaded streets and squares remain closely connected to everyday commerce.
