People
Dario Argento
“My relationship with Torino began when I was a boy, when I went with my father on a trip. I liked the city so much that I already wanted to set The Bird with the Crystal Plumage here, but it wasn’t possible, due to costs. I promptly made up for that in my next film, The Cat o’ Nine Tails.”
Africa Unite
"Africa United is not deeply Torinese. Bunna and I are from the province of Piemonte and we’re critical toward the so-called ‘Savoy pride’, but it’s a fact that we have experienced Torino’s turmoil."
Carlo Mazzacurati
“Torino is a special place for me, I must say it’s almost exotic. I always enjoy coming to town. I worked in Torino in 2001 while filming A cavallo della tigre. We would shoot at the le Nuove prison and while we were on the set we heard about 9-11 Attack on the Twin Towers”.
