Alba - Piedmont - Italy - Cuneo - wine production
Alba is een stad en gemeente in het zuiden van de Italiaanse regio Piëmont, in de provincie Cuneo. De stad ligt op de rechter oever van de rivier de Tanaro en wordt omgeven door heuvels die bedekt zijn met wijngaarden. Waarschijnlijk is Alba van Keltische of Ligurische oorsprong. De Romeinen doopten de stad in 89 voor Christus Alba Pompeia.
Het centrum van Alba wordt gedomineerd door vijf 14e-eeuwse torens; enkele behoorden ooit toe aan de nobele families van de stad. Andere bezienswaardigheden in de stad zijn de bakstenen kathedraal uit de 15e eeuw, de 13de-eeuwse kerk San Domenico en het recentelijk gerestaureerde Palazzo Comunale.
Alba is bekend om haar witte truffels. Ieder jaar wordt er in de stad een truffelbeurs gehouden. In de stad is ook het hoofdkantoor van Ferrero gevestigd, bekend van producten als Nutella, Mon Chéri en Ferrero Rocher.

Piedmont Park is a 189-acre (76 ha) urban park in Atlanta, Georgia, located about 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of Downtown, between the Midtown and Virginia Highland neighborhoods. Originally the land was owned by Dr. Benjamin Walker[disambiguation needed], who used it as his out-of-town gentleman's farm and residence. He sold the land in 1887 to the Gentlemen's Driving Club (later renamed the Piedmont Driving Club), who wanted to establish an exclusive club and racing ground for horse enthusiasts. The Driving Club entered an agreement with the Piedmont Exposition Company, headed by prominent Atlantan Charles A. Collier, to use the land for fairs and expositions and later gave the park its name.
