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.

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.

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.



People

Teresa Sapey

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.”

Negramaro

“A city of culture that we always observe carefully. When we were kids, Torino already represented the epicentre of an extremely dynamic underground musical scene…I would say that these days the city is identified much more with its connection to the cinematic territory.”

Luis Sepúlveda

“Torino is beautiful today, thanks specifically to the contribution of its immigrants. Immigration needs time to in order for its cultural contribution to acquire strength. Today’s Torino is a result of this cultural settling.”
