Piedmont, Italy Travel Guide

By Ondine Cohane

Photography by Lorenzo Pesce

As the birthplace of Slow Food and home to some of the world's most revered wines, this northern Italian region arguably has the country's richest culinary scene. New hotels and restaurants in and around the capital city, Turin, are putting Piedmont in the spotlight.

Fly into Milan (most major airlines have nonstop flights from New York), then rent a car for the 1 1/2-hour drive west.

Opened last year, the Relais Monforte near Serralunga d'Alba has a golf course and sweeping views. Rooms from $250; Località Sant'Anna 110, Monforte d'Alba; 011-39-0173-787-011; relaismonforte.it

Nearby, the brand-new Il Boscareto Resort & Spa has a similar modern aesthetic, including an indoor pool overlooking vineyards. Rooms from $382; Strada Roddino 21, Serralunga d'Alba; 011-39-0173-613-036; ilboscaretoresort.it

• Trattoria i Bologna Outside Rocchetta Tanaro near Asti, son Giuseppe Bologna mans the kitchen, mom Mariuccia hand-rolls the fresh pasta, and dad Carlo and Giuseppe's wife, Cristina, are in charge of the front of the house and impressive cellar—they make a delicious Barbera that sells for 30 euros a bottle. The menu changes daily and offers two choices per course. Recent standouts include delicate veal tartare topped with Parmesan; taglierini with fresh white truffles, and for the adventurous, tender guanciale di cavallo (horse cheek) with a celery puree. Via Nicola Sardi 4, Rocchetta Tanaro; 011-39-0141-644-600; trattoriaibologna.it
• Vinoteca Centro Storico Serralunga d'Alba is one of the prettiest towns in Piedmont and the stomping grounds for the wine producers who work the hallowed vineyards that circle it. After a day in the fields, most end up at this cozy wine bar right under the town's castle for a glass of excellent local Barolo—like cult label Massolino and up-and-comer Pira Luigi. Heaping plates of affettati (sliced meats), cheese, and fried anchovies are the perfect food match. Via Roma 6, Serralunga d'Alba; 011-39-0173-613-203
• Piazza Duomo The best restaurants in Piedmont tend to be either über-traditional or cutting-edge modern. At Alba's Michelin-starred Piazza Duomo, young rising-star chef Enrico Crippa has divided the menu to suit both tastes. On the modern side, dishes include white beetroot with mackerel, soy, sesame, and mandarin orange, and ravioli of sweet-and-sour pork. The traditional menu offers a succulent veal chop smeared with mustard and breadcrumb sauce, and truffled rabbit. Whatever your palate, don't miss the showstopping salad with 21 different greens, herbs, and flowers. Piazza Risorgimento 4, Alba; 011-39-0173-366-167; piazzaduomoalba.it
• Giovanni Rosso Winery Davide Rosso's perfect English means you can get a real education on the terroir of his organically grown vintages and on the region. Bring home a bottle (or case) of the top-rated "La Serra" Barolo or the well-priced Dolcetto d'Alba. Località Baudana 6, Serralunga d'Alba; 011-39-0173-613-340
• Trattoria della Posta Housed in an old country estate outside the village of Monforte d'Alba, this spot has been feeding hungry travelers since 1875. Dishes like baked onion filled with cheese; mini ravioli with fresh goat cheese topped with local sausage and leek sauce; and veal shank with Barolo exemplify the eatery's old-school approach. Località Sant'Anna 87, Monforte d'Alba; 011-39-0173-781-20; trattoriadellaposta.it
• Eataly This huge gourmet market, ensconced in a former vermouth factory, features Slow Food-sanctioned products—artisanal vinegars, hundreds of local cheeses, wine, and an incredible selection of fresh seasonal produce. A number of superb restaurants are on site, too. Via Nizza 230/14, Turin; 011-39-011-1950-6801; eatalytorino.it
• I Caffi A formal dining room with a wood-beamed ceiling, frescoes, and silk curtains is the appropriate setting for an impressive classic menu that still has lots of surprises. The tortino di milazzo (sea bass fish cake in saffron sauce) and agnolotti del plin filled with moist duck are both delicate and tasty. The encyclopedic wine list has well-priced vintages from all over Italy and a great daily selection of wines by the glass. Via Verdi 1 (Vicolo del Voltano), Acqui Terme; 011-39-0144-325-206; icaffi.it
• Ristorante Guido Located on the grounds of the Slow Food's well-respected University of Gastronomic Sciences, Guido is a showcase for contemporary cuisine and design. Expect Slow Food classics like rabbit with local veggies, beef tongue stuffed with cabbage and bottarga , and a fine selection of fish dishes. Along with the school and restaurant, there's a new hotel and wine museum. Via Fossano 19, Pollenzo; 011-39-0172-458-422; guidoristorante.it

Condé Nast Strikes Deal With Employees Threatening to Disrupt Met Gala

The company on Monday reached a tentative contract agreement with unionized employees who said they were willing to disrupt Anna Wintour’s carefully laid plans over stalled negotiations.

By Perri Ormont Blumberg

Condé Nast and the union representing employees of Vogue and other publications owned by the company reached a tentative agreement early Monday on a long-in-the-works contract. The deal happened about 12 hours before the first guests were set to arrive at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Met Gala, and after unionized employees had threatened to disrupt the event over the pace of contract negotiations.

Representatives for Condé Nast declined to comment for this article beyond sharing a message release the company sent after bargaining negotiations ended around 3 a.m. “On behalf of the management bargaining committee and leaders throughout the business, we are pleased to come to tentatively agreed terms on a contract with the union,” it read.

Mark Alan Burger, a unit chair for the Condé Nast Union, said in a news release sent on Monday that reaching a tentative agreement was a result of members’ commitment to do whatever it took to get a contract, “including walking off the job ahead of the Met Gala.”

Leading up to the event, which is co-hosted by Anna Wintour, the editor in chief of Vogue, and costs $75,000 per person , the Condé Nast Union pledged to continue to take action as needed to bring the publisher to the bargaining table. In a post on X, the union warned on Saturday night that management could “meet us at the table or meet us at the Met on Monday.”

The tentative agreement came after over a year of bargaining for union members to create their first contract. In addition to establishing just cause as the basis for firing employees, the agreement includes wage increases, additional parental leave and hybrid work protections for the approximately 540 members of the Condé Nast Union, which represents employees from titles including Vanity Fair, GQ and Architectural Digest, in addition to Vogue staff members. (The New Yorker, Pitchfork and Ars Technica maintain their own unions and contracts.)

On Wednesday members of the Condé Nast Union, which held a one-day work stoppage in January, participated in a May Day rally at Condé Nast’s headquarters at One World Trade Center in Manhattan. Later that week, staff members also covered Ms. Wintour’s neighborhood in fliers reading “Anna Wears Prada, Workers Get Nada,” taping them to lampposts and slipping them under windshield wipers.

Mr. Burger, who works as a social media manager at Vanity Fair , on Thursday said such actions were organized with the hope that “we can get a contract together and that everyone can attend and watch and work in that gala as they normally would.”

“Everyone at Condé Nast really, really loves their job — it’s a workplace unlike any other,” Mr. Burger said. “It’s a huge achievement to be involved in conversations that are shaping and influencing culture.”

“Obviously, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ is a huge cultural touchstone for us, especially,” he added. “The idea that 100 girls would kill for this job — those days are over.”

Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated the status of the contract talks between Condé Nast and union employees. A company representative said the two sides reached a tentative agreement early Monday morning; it was not the case that no deal had been reached at the time of publication.

How we handle corrections

Our Coverage of the 2024 Met Gala

Zendaya Makes Two Arrivals: The actress wore a second John Galliano design to make a late (re)entrance at the Met Gala . The first was a custom Maison Margiela couture dress he created specifically for her.

A Fitting Literary Inspiration: In 1962, J.G. Ballard published “The Garden of Time,” a short story about aristocrats overrun by “an immense rabble.” It was a fitting but ironic choice as this year’s  dress-code theme .

The Body Spectacle: The night saw Kim Kardashian engaged in a kind of body modification  via extreme corseting. While Tyla, the South African singer and songwriter, appeared coated in sand .

Arrests and Protests: As expected, protesters gathered near the Met Gala to protest the war in Gaza, creating an atmosphere far different  from the one inside the event.

The ‘Naked’ Trend: What better way to distinguish oneself  from hundreds of well-dressed competitors than to wear almost nothing at all?

A Night of Firsts: Here’s the story behind Rebecca Ferguson’s sequin, bird-covered dress , Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s all-denim look , Pamela Anderson’s new incarnation , Christian Cowan and Sam Smith’s debut as a couple , and Amanda Seyfried’s semi-recycled look .

After more than a year of talks, Condé Nast management inked an employment pact with hundreds of union workers at Vogue and other publications — heading off a strike that threatened to disrupt the company’s splashy Met Gala on Monday.

According to the union, the contract guarantees a $61,500 starting salary floor; an end to the “two-tier permalance system,” expanded bereavement leave, two more weeks of family leave (for 14 weeks total) and $3.3 million in total wage increases.

Condé Nast chief people officer Stan Duncan sent an email at about 3:30 a.m. ET to company staff about the tentative agreement with the union. “We are happy to have a contract that reflects and supports our core values — our content and journalism; our commitment to diversity and professional development; our industry-leading hiring practices and our competitive wages and benefits,” Duncan wrote. “We look forward to the ratification of the contract by its members.”

The Condé Nast Union, affiliated with the NewsGuild of New York, represents about 540 editorial workers at Vogue, Vanity Fair, Glamour. GQ, Allure, Architectural Digest, Bon Appétit, Condé Nast Traveler, Epicurious, Self, Teen Vogue, them, and Condé Nast Entertainment. Condé Nast workers at the New Yorker, Wired and Ars Technica are also unionized with the NewsGuild of New York.

In recent weeks, the Condé Union had also singled out Wintour, posting signs around her neighborhood that said “Anna Wears Prada, Workers Get Nada.” In a post on its site, the union said, “While Anna Wintour, Vogue editor in chief, mingles with fellow millionaires at the Met Gala, Condé Nast is refusing to settle a fair contract — and is trying to lay off nearly 100 Condé Union members.”

Wintour also raised eyebrows recently when she reportedly left her trademark sunglasses on the entire time she met with the staff of Pitchfork to inform them of layoffs at the music site, which Condé folded under the oversight of GQ.

The Conde Nast Union had some great Anna Wintour burns ready for their now-canceled Met Gala protest

The Conde Nast Union was ready to protest at the Met Gala, the haute fashion ball run by the publishing house’s most senior editor, Anna Wintour.

But the demonstration was called off at the 11th hour after the union negotiated some new terms for its members, thus avoiding a scene at the A-List event, which would have seen celebrities having to cross a picket line.

The members had signs with some great Wintour burns ready to unleash outside the bash at the Metropolitan Museum, which the union posted to the union’s Instagram. They included, “Anna’s dress costs more than my annual salary,” and “Anna Wintour can spend $77 on a caprese salad every day, but it’s the workers who have to cut costs?”

(Anna’s regular lunch order, revealed in Amy Odell’s book “Anna,” is a Caprese salad and steak from The Palm, costing $77.33 with tip.)

One said, “The Devil Wears Sunglasses when she’s laying you off,” a reference to the time in January when the CN chief content officer reportedly wore shades when canning staffers from its digital music title, Pitchfork.

Still another said that health care is considered too expensive by the brand, but “sure, let Anna have her party.”

The Met Gala avoided mayhem Monday when CN finally reached a deal with the union at 3AM the day of the high-profile event.

The union represents members of the fashion mag Vogue as well as other publications like Vanity Fair, GQ, Glamour, Bon Appétit, and Architectural Digest. They were also threatening to strike.

A rep for the union would neither confirm nor deny the picket plan, telling us, “As unions we always have multiple plans in place. We had a plan to do whatever it takes – which we did not need thanks to the tentative agreement.”

The tentative agreement promises a $61,500 starting salary floor; “expanded bereavement leave, two more weeks of family leave (14 total) and $3.3 million in total wage increases.”

Stan Duncan, Condé Nast’s chief people officer, told Page Six in a statement, “We are happy to have a contract that reflects and supports our core values – our content and journalism; our commitment to diversity and professional development; our industry-leading hiring practices; and our competitive wages and benefits. We look forward to the ratification of the contract by its members.”

This weekend, the Conde union protested alongside the Model Alliance outside the Met Museum for the Fashion Workers Act, which would regulate New York’s model management agencies.

About a week ago, union members picketed outside of Wintour’s house with fliers raging, “Anna wears Prada; workers get nada.”

In January, Anne Hathaway walked out of a Vanity Fair cover shoot when members of her union, SAG-AFTRA, joined a one-day walk out in solidarity with unionized Condé staffers. Sources told Page Six at the time that “The Devil Wears Prada” star was in hair and makeup when she pulled the plug on the photo session after a call from SAG.

They have been working on a deal for a year. Last year, they put out of fiery statement before the Met Gala, also known as the Oscars of Fashion, saying the event’s “sparkle comes from our sweat.”

“Behind the cameras, there are hundreds of Vogue workers who are underpaid, undervalued, and overworked,” said the statement.

Thailand has extended visa-free entry for Indians until November 2024

By Condé Nast Traveller

If you thought you had lost your chance to enjoy visa-free access to Thailand’s beautiful beaches, islands and delicious food, there’s good news for you. In November 2023, Thailand announced that it would be granting visa-free entry to Indians for six months, until 10 May 2024. Now, the Tourism Authority of Thailand has announced an extension to the facility, allowing visa-free entry to Indians for six extra months—until 10 November 2024.

Earlier, Indians required a visa-on-arrival to travel to Thailand, which allowed them a stay of up to 15 days. With Thailand’s visa-free entry facility, Indians can stay in Thailand for up to 30 days.

As per news reports , the extension is a result of the success of the facility. Thailand welcomed about 12 million tourists in the first four months of 2024, a 39% increase from the same period last year. India is among the largest contributors to tourism in Thailand, along with China, South Korea, Malaysia and more. The visa-free entry facility applies to tourists from India and Taiwan.

If you plan to travel to Thailand, you can make the most of the country’s shoulder seasons , which last from April to June and September to October—if you’re willing to brave the heat in favour of lower hotel and flight rates. There is, of course, plenty to do in Thailand, from discovering the turquoise waters of Koh Kood and finding the best street-eats in Bangkok , to staying at a railway-themed hotel and dining at Michelin-starred restaurants .

Vogue owner Condé Nast averts union walkout with deal on day of Met Gala

Workers say tentative agreement was reached for first union contract after threats of walkout during gala, a major fashion event

Workers at Condé Nast , the media empire behind Vogue, Vanity Fair and GQ, announced a tentative agreement has been reached for a first union contract after threatening to stage a walkout during the Met Gala on Monday evening.

The Condé Nast Union, which represents about 540 editorial workers, has been bargaining for a union contract since September 2022. It is affiliated with the NewsGuild of New York.

Condé Nast owns a string of leading magazines and publications, including Glamour, Bon Appétit and Teen Vogue. It also owns the New Yorker, although this has a separate union .

Back in November, as the company bargained with the Condé Nast Union, it announced plans to lay off 5% of its workforce. It then proposed laying off 94 union members. The proposed layoffs further heated contention between both sides in bargaining, with the union threatening to walk off the job.

The union also distributed flyers in New York City, criticizing the opulence of the Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour – the face and organizer of the fashion industry’s biggest night, the Met Gala – throughout her neighborhood to raise public awareness of the contract fight with the tagline, “Anna wears Prada, workers get nada”.

Both sides finally reached a tentative agreement at 3am local time in New York on Monday: the day of this year’s Meta Gala, which some workers had threatened to disrupt.

“We made a commitment to do whatever it takes to get our contract,” said Mark Alan Burger, Vanity Fair social media manager and a member of the Condé Nast Union bargaining team. “Our pledge to take any action necessary to get our contract, including walking off the job ahead of the Met Gala, and all the actions we took this week, pushed the company to really negotiate.

“We made every effort this week to meet with them and get this contract completed and we’re thrilled to say we did it.”

Workers will vote on whether to ratify the agreement – which includes $3.6m in wage increases, including a starting salary floor of $61,500 annually, an increase of two weeks of paid parental leave, just cause protections, conversion of subcontracted workers to staff, and negotiated terms of the previously announced layoffs – later this week.

Condé Nast said it was “pleased to come to tentatively agreed terms” with the union. The contract “reflects and supports our core values: our content and journalism; our commitment to diversity and professional development; our industry-leading hiring practices and our competitive wages and benefits,” the company added.

Condé Nast reached a deal with its union. Here's what they got and why some staffers think it's a mixed bag.

• Condé Nast and its union reached a deal, averting a strike that would have disrupted the Met Gala.
• The union's first contract includes a $61,500 salary floor and extended paid family leave. 
• The union wasn't able to save 100 people who were targeted for layoffs, though.

The labor union representing Condé Nast employees reached a tentative agreement with the company, hours before the union was set to strike ahead of one of fashion's biggest events of the year, the Anna Wintour-cohosted Met Gala.

Included in the tentative agreement are a $61,500 starting salary floor, an end to the two-tier permanence system, just cause protections, expanded bereavement leave, and two more weeks of paid family leave (for a total of 14).

The guild also negotiated eight weeks of severance for laid-off employees and a layoff moratorium through July 31.

The contract would be the first for the NewGuild of New York-repped Condé Nast Union, which covers around 550 people across a dozen titles, including Vanity Fair, Vogue, and GQ, and has been bargaining a new contract since 2022. Union members are expected to ratify the contract in the coming week.

The win is bittersweet for some union members. Talks failed to save the jobs of 94 union members who were targeted five months ago for layoffs as part of a companywide reduction of 5%. CEO Roger Lynch cited digital advertising pressures , a decline in social-media traffic, and the audience's shift to short-form video in announcing the cuts.

The 94 people were assigned in March to a centralized team while the negotiations continued. The team was quickly dubbed the " rubber room ," a reference to the infamous reassignment centers where suspended New York City teachers sat idle while still being paid.

Union members who spoke with Business Insider expressed relief and elation over the contract achievement and resulting employment benefits at Condé Nast, historically known for its low starting pay.

"There's just not going to be any more, 'You're going to make 30 grand a year and work your fingers to the bone,'" said one Condé Nast staffer. This person and others were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the company.

There was also some relief that staff wouldn't strike, which would have disrupted their coverage of the glamorous event. The union was making preparations to picket around the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The joy was tempered by the fact that the union couldn't get the company to budge on layoffs. Those laid off will get less severance than the company originally offered, which had included two weeks for each year of employment.

Those who are still with the company also face the reality that they're going back to a smaller staff and no promise that there won't be more staff cuts after the moratorium ends on July 31.

"I'm definitely thinking about layoffs," a second Condé Nast staffer said.

The cuts were particularly deep at Bon Appétit — with about 25% proposed cuts to unionized members versus 17% of unionized employees across the company — worrying insiders who said the publication was still recovering after a racial reckoning in 2020.

Mark Alan Burger, a Vanity Fair social-media manager and a Condé Union bargaining team member, said in a statement that the union was committed to doing whatever it took to get a contract.

"Our pledge to take any action necessary to get our contract, including walking off the job ahead of the Met Gala, and all the actions we took this week, pushed the company to really negotiate," he said. "We made every effort this week to meet with them and get this contract completed and we're thrilled to say we did it."

"We are happy to have a contract that reflects and supports our core values — our content and journalism; our commitment to diversity and professional development; our industry-leading hiring practices; and our competitive wages and benefits," Condé Nast said in a statement.
