About Torino
Turin is ideally located at the foot of the Alps, whose peaks you can admire from anywhere in the city. The city has its roots in the 20th century industrialisation and in the struggle for democracy and progress of that period. But today, in particular after the Olympic Games of 2006, Turin has turned into a lively and colored place awash of students and young workers, also thanks to the University and the Polytechnic of Turin — the best in Italy. The struggle to unify Italy started in Piedmont, which is why Turin became the country’s first capital city. Before that, it was the center of the Savoy Reign. Thanks to this noble family, Turin is rich in history and art of every sort. In addition, having been the centre of Italian automation during the 20th century, the city is also an important hub for contemporary arts, in particular for design and movie making.
