Had a lovely long weekend in Italy earlier this month. It was warm and sunny, unlike London, which has had the coldest spring in 30 years! We were staying in Piemonte and spent a day at the stunningly beautiful Lago d'Orta.  Piemonte really is one of the most beautiful parts of Italy and the food and wine are superb. Here are pics of Monferrato around Rosignano and Cellamonte and of the Lago d'Orta.
