People
Alessandro Del Piero
"Torino is the city where I arrived at 18 and where I became a man, where I bought my house and fit it to suit me over the years, where the friends I see live, the city where my wife was born."
Roberto Capucci
“Torino is an aristocratic city, not a scoundel. You natives are spared because there is not too much tourism and this is a great fortune. There is a class to this city that no longer exists elsewhere. I’m reminded of a woman like Rita Levi Montalcini, for whom I have designed over 50 dresses”.
Luis Sepúlveda
“Like my paternal grandfather used to say: one is a native of the place where he feels most at ease and right now I feel wonderful in Torino for instance, as well as in Gijon. That’s what life is all about.”
