People
Enrico Ruggeri
“The city’s centre looks the same as it did at the beginning of the 20th century; I am always reminded of an old advertisement with Ernesto Calindri e Franco Volpi that takes place in a café in the heart of Torino. Its slogan impressed me as a child: Fino dai tempi dei Garibaldini, China Martini (China Martini…. since the time of Garibaldi’s patriots.) This is also the first city in which I performed in front of a large crowd of paying guests. It was 1984 and we were playing at the Pellerina park for the Punti Verdi series of outdoor concerts.”
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.”
Achille Bonito Oliva
“There is a touch of eroticism in a city (Torino) that appears to be dominated by an urban geometric shape tied to French style of road-building, that has always hidden its fire under the ashes, in a collective unconscious that smoulders and emerges every so often.”
