Places
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.
Biblioteca Reale di Torino
The Biblioteca Reale (Royal Library) houses important collections of manuscripts, illuminated manuscripts, and engravings. Besides its 2,000 drawings, it has several drawings by Leonard Da Vinci, among which are: the Self-Portrait, the Volto dell’Angelo (the Angel’s Face), the preliminary drawing for the Vergine delle Rocce (Virgin of the Rocks), and the Codice sul Volo (Codex on the Flight of Birds).
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
Luciana Littizzetto
"I like living in Toino. It has a singular beat. The accent is an important source of inspiration: it’s slow, deliberate, not suited for funny moments, but if it’s natural and not affected, it works and makes you laugh."
Gianni Amelio
“Only in Torino, or perhaps at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, can you breathe an affinity that exists between those who are watching the film, those who create it and those who organise the festival. Together, we share something important because we all make movies.”
Paolo Poli
“Torino is a capital, beautiful but with a background that is a bit gloomy: the legacy of the horrible Savoy dynasty, so far away from that of the French rulers.”
