a really nice/great man from Piedmont

My comment:

This is rather like the untranslatable 'Le grand Meaulnes'....

...a nice great fellow from Piedmont...

My comment:

From Piedmont: Piedmontese / Del Piemonte: piemontese

It is a so-called "accrescitivo" (augmentative). Thus, I think "great fellow" would convey both the ideas: large size and kindness.

Hope it helps.
