Places
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.
Sacro Monte di Crea
Built at the end of the 1500’s, the Sacro Monte di Crea has 23 chapels and 5 hermitages scattered throughout the woods and connected to each other by paths. The chapels narrate the life of the Virgin Mary and house extraordinary life-size statuary groups.
Villa Scott
The little manor house, one of the most important examples of Torino Liberty architecture, is linked to the name of Dario Argento who set his film, “Profondo Rosso” (“Deep Red”) here – perhaps his most emotional film and the one with the strongest visual effects.

People
Carolina Kostner
"The people of Piemonte are rather similar to the people of Alto Adige. That’s probably because the mountains are two steps away…but, in Torino, which is a big city, there isn’t the same atmosphere as there is in my part of the country. Here, there’s everything. Discovering its most interesting sides will be a true pleasure…"
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."
Africa Unite
"Africa United is not deeply Torinese. Bunna and I are from the province of Piemonte and we’re critical toward the so-called ‘Savoy pride’, but it’s a fact that we have experienced Torino’s turmoil."
