Castello di Aglič
This sumptuous home was built, beginning in 1646 following a design by Amedeo di Castellamonte, by Filippo d’Aglie, statesman, literary man, choreographer, and adviser to Madama Reale, on the ruins of an ancient fortress.
La “Bollente” di Acqui Terme
This is an elegant, octagonal temple-structure inaugurated in 1879. This eclectic structure has a spring where sulfuric-salty-bromine-iodic water flows at a temperature of 74.5 degrees Celsius.
Forte di Vinadio
Requested by Re Carlo Alberto, the Forte (Fort) di Vinadio represents one of the most important examples of military architecture from the Alps. It extends length-wise for 1,200 meters, on three levels, which cover about 10 km of interior passageway.

People
Zucchero Fornaciari
“Torino, a city whose public has always given me a warm welcome. I have friends here and I think that Torino natives have a great sense of humour. Of course, you have to pull it out of them.”
Mouse on Mars
“Torino: a magnificent city from an architectural viewpoint. There was a lot of snow and people all over the place the last time we played in Piazza Vittorio during the 2006 Olympic White Nights: truly an atmosphere that cannot be replicated.”
Carolina Kostner
“…Torino, which is my second Italian shelter, has an atmosphere that I really like, not only on ice. In Torino, I have found dreamlike places, little classical music shops. I spent an entire afternoon once, chatting with the owner of one of these shops about the history of the Flamenco.”
