People
Zucchero Fornaciari
“Torino, a city whose public has always given me a warm welcome. I have friends here and I think that Torino natives have a great sense of humour. Of course, you have to pull it out of them.”
Nanni Moretti
"It seems to me that Torino had a rush of pride with the winter Olympics; I remember that during that time, I would hear a lot of people surprised at the city’s reawakening: that feeling is still there."
Carolina Kostner
“…Torino, which is my second Italian shelter, has an atmosphere that I really like, not only on ice. In Torino, I have found dreamlike places, little classical music shops. I spent an entire afternoon once, chatting with the owner of one of these shops about the history of the Flamenco.”
