Pino Daniele

Pino Daniele

“Torino is an extraordinary place and remarkably generous in the affection it showers upon me every time.”

Giorgia

“I always begin my stay in Torino with a gianduiotto chocolate bonbon, then I continue on to the rest, and I never leave without a supply for later dates.”

Carlo Fruttero

“I miss the city that I once knew. The one in which I lived on the banks of the Po and in piazza della Consolata. Now that area of the old town centre has become the Quadrilatero. In my day, children played football there, now people eat raw fish.”
