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.

People
Andrea Lee
“I married a man from Torino and we have started our family here. You fall in love with it gradually, it’s full of hidden, unknown things ready to be discovered, but filled with perversions as well. It has some very beautiful places…..”
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.”
Manhattan Transfer
"Torino has a unique allure: aristocratic, elegant. We enjoyed the museums, the parks and the people are warm and passionate. And also the cafés and fantastic restaurants where you eat in the Piemonte style: truffles, Barolo, Arneis were, for us, an absolutely unforgettable delicacy."
