Places
Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens
Villa Taranto and its gardens, which look out over Lago Maggiore, have a vast botanical trove that includes about 1,000 plants, which until today had never been cultivated in Italy, and about 20,000 varieties and species of particular botanical importance.
Palaisozaki
It is the new Torino Olympic Palasport (Sports Arena) designed by the Japanese architect Arata Isozaki for the Winter Olympics in Torino 2006. A multi-functional space, versatile and flexible which, thanks to the mobility of its platform, can turn from an ice rink into a concert, show, or convention venue.
Villa Scott
The little manor house, one of the most important examples of Torino Liberty architecture, is linked to the name of Dario Argento who set his film, “Profondo Rosso” (“Deep Red”) here – perhaps his most emotional film and the one with the strongest visual effects.

People
Teresa Sapey
“I love Torino deeply, the city has always stimulated me and will continue to do so in the future…I exported the “giallo piemontese” (Piemontese yellow) to Spain to decorate the home of illustrious Madrid natives. Everyone has copied me ever since.”
Davide Ferrario
“Torino was irreplaceable, not so much as a backdrop, but as a silent character. I have said many times that the city is extraordinary from an architectural viewpoint. Not because it is “beautiful” in a generic sense…Torino is extremely varied, perhaps it is often contradictory – but above all it is a city that tells a story."
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."
