People
Monica Bellucci
"I love this city to death, architecturally beautiful, the people are friendly without being invasive, and the food is stupendous."
Nanni Moretti
"It seems to me that Torino had a rush of pride with the winter Olympics; I remember that during that time, I would hear a lot of people surprised at the city’s reawakening: that feeling is still there."
Cristina Tardito
"Torino is a somber and very refined city that knows how to combine the ancient splendor of Palazzo Madama with the modern rush of the Olympic sites. I would like to take foreigners out on a Torino bar hop or take them out on the Po in a canoe."
