People
Stefania Rocca
"My father used to work at Fiat. I never saw Torino as a limitation. It’s an elegant city. The fog has never caused me to be anxious or sad. My mother used to say that it helps us to look at ourselves inside."
Piero Chiambretti
"The free time I have, I spend in Torino. It’s the place where I grew as a human and professionally. My years of study and cabaret, those of fleeing and returning a winner, those of my haunts. Torino is my life."
Irene Grandi
“Torino is a fascinating place, filled with things to do, artistic and cultural movement…there’s always a show or a concert going on in some piazza. If only Florence was like this…”
