The Palio of Asti takes place every September: not as well known internationally as the Palio of Siena, but the Asti Palio, which started in the year 1275, is even is more ancient than Siena's, which started in 1292. It's also equally spectacular, and just as popular locally. The previous link is to a site in Italian only: get the date from there, and for a schedule of events in English see the 'Program' link here.
Golf courses of Piedmont: this site has them all, with a clickable map - but note that golf courses are missing from the very best wine areas. It's the ultimate Piedmont golf resource.
