Places
Filatoio Rosso di Caraglio
The Filatoio (Spinning Mill), built between 1676 and 1678, is an extraordinary example of 17th century Piemonte “industrial architecture”. Today, completely restored, it houses the Museo Regionale della Seta (Regional Silk Museum), as well as contemporary art shows.
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.
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.”
Monica Bellucci
"I love this city to death, architecturally beautiful, the people are friendly without being invasive, and the food is stupendous."
Daniel Birnbaum
“Torino’s most successful work of art? The Mole Antonelliana, it’s obvious. The best works are those that have such a positive meaning that the population absorbs them as a symbol of its own culture. These are works that would be sorely missed, should they be destroyed.”
