People
Sergio Rubini
“Torino is a city that one could decide to live in. It’s outstandingly good to arrive in Piazza Carignano and go to dinner at the Cambio, stroll through Piazza San Carlo or go for a ride to Porta Palazzo amongst the different colours, smells and languages”.
Eleonora Giorgi
“For me, it’s like going back to being a little girl, when I used to spend the month of September on my grandfather’s estate in the Monferrato area. I remember the grape harvest with the oxen and baskets filled with grapes… but today’s Langhe area is even more beautiful: they were successful in maintaining an extraordinary harmony.”
Carolina Kostner

Discovering its most interesting sides will be a true pleasure…"
