“Torinodanza” begins on September 6th. The event that contributes to a better understanding of certain fields of contemporary dance has nine productions on its playbill, seven of which are making their Italian debut between September – included on the Mito Settembre Musica playbill – and November, the month dedicated to contemporary art.

Places
Historical Wine Cellars in Canelli
The wine cellars – which hold ancient barrels perfectly lined-up – have brick arches, lowered large round arches connected to each other by tunnels that reach into the layers and strata of earth which have formed over the centuries.
Abbazia di Novalesa
Near the monastery, there are four chapels dedicated to Saint Mary, Saint Salvador, Saint Michael, and the most important one to Saint Eldrado which has two splendid fresco cycles (from the late 11th century) narrating moments from the lives of Saint Eldrado and Saint Nicholas.
Biblioteca Reale di Torino
The Biblioteca Reale (Royal Library) houses important collections of manuscripts, illuminated manuscripts, and engravings. Besides its 2,000 drawings, it has several drawings by Leonard Da Vinci, among which are: the Self-Portrait, the Volto dell’Angelo (the Angel’s Face), the preliminary drawing for the Vergine delle Rocce (Virgin of the Rocks), and the Codice sul Volo (Codex on the Flight of Birds).

People
Monica Bellucci
"I love this city to death, architecturally beautiful, the people are friendly without being invasive, and the food is stupendous."
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”.
Alessandro Del Piero
"Torino is the city where I arrived at 18 and where I became a man, where I bought my house and fit it to suit me over the years, where the friends I see live, the city where my wife was born."
