Great open-air museums that meet and blend with tradition. It has happened in some villages in Italy, where street art artists have given a rebirth and redevelopment to some forgotten places with their spray-painted works, reawakening visitors' and graffiti enthusiasts. We at Visit Italy propose a sort of itinerary: a journey from the north to the south of the boot, using spray cans and stencils.

16. Piedmont: Usseaux, Torre Pellice, Vernante and Camo

Our journey starts in the Piedmont region, where we found no less than four painted villages. Our first stop is Usseaux (in the province of Turin), a small mountain village in Alta Val Chisone, located at an altitude of 1416 metres and within the Orsiera Rocciavrè Natural Park. Its cobbled streets are lined with no less than 40 murals depicting the village's rural life, nature, inhabitants and fairytale characters.
