People
Roberto Faenza
“With its ancient and distressing twilight vice, Torino is the abstract, metaphysical space, the beautiful stranger, aloof and a bit mysterious that I have chosen to bring to the screen for Giorni dell’abbandono based on Elena Ferrante’s novel with the same title.”
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."
Carlo Mazzacurati
“Torino is a special place for me, I must say it’s almost exotic. I always enjoy coming to town. I worked in Torino in 2001 while filming A cavallo della tigre. We would shoot at the le Nuove prison and while we were on the set we heard about 9-11 Attack on the Twin Towers”.
