Places

Forte di Fenestrelle

The largest fortified structure in Europe and the longest wall-structure in the world after the Great Wall of China: a 635-meter inclination, 3 km long, 1,300,000 square meters large, 4,000 steps in the Scala Coperta (Covered Staircase), 2,500 steps in the Scala Reale (Royal Staircase), 5 drawbridges, and 183 lights to illuminate the interior.

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 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

Roberto Capucci

Roberto Capucci

“Torino is an aristocratic city, not a scoundel. You natives are spared because there is not too much tourism and this is a great fortune. There is a class to this city that no longer exists elsewhere. I’m reminded of a woman like Rita Levi Montalcini, for whom I have designed over 50 dresses”.

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.”

 

Benedetta Cibrario

“Torino is a city in which things simmer, working in secret. It’s filled with contrasts, often treated poorly, and it is very beautiful: this is a discovery made as an adult.”
