Highlights
Fiori & Aromi
From April to October, the Giardino Medievale (Medieval Garden) in Torino will be the romantic setting for a series of courses, guided tours, open air lessons, events, and celebrations. Fiori & Aromi is the ideal opportunity to admire one of the city’s most beautiful gardens during the different seasons of the year.
The open air activities of the Oasi Zegna
Anyone going to Oasi Zegna, the protected “for the family” mountain area immersed in the splendid setting of the Alps in the Biella province, from May to November, will find fun, sports, spectacular wildflowers and so much more.

Places
Sacro Monte di Crea
Built at the end of the 1500’s, the Sacro Monte di Crea has 23 chapels and 5 hermitages scattered throughout the woods and connected to each other by paths. The chapels narrate the life of the Virgin Mary and house extraordinary life-size statuary groups.
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.
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.

People
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."
Roberto Faenza
“With its ancient and distressing twilight vice, Torino is the abstract, metaphysical space, the beautiful stranger, aloof and a bit mysterious that I have chosen to bring to the screen for Giorni dell’abbandono based on Elena Ferrante’s novel with the same title.”
Walter Dang
“Torino’s ladies are the ideal interpreters of my creations, balanced between classicism and experimentation. They never much attention to brand names, dressing in an understated way focusing on substance and not appearance. They want to be original without being brash.”
