Night Life Night life
Piemonte has a musical soul: countless artists have chosen this region to compose, play and record their music from time immemorial. Radio was born in Torino, Italy’s jazz music also began here (at the height of the fascist period), and, still in Torino, we can find the leading figures of contemporary music trends. You can see them at a host of Live Festivals, Music Clubs, Cultural Associations and venues for which music is their raison d´être. At their rich and prestigious events you can find celebrated artists form all over the world, as well as up-and-coming and underground musicians. Piemonte and the world of music are linked by an eternal bond.

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.

People
Umberto Eco
"Without Italy, Torino would be more or less the same. But, without Torino, Italy would be very different."
Monica Bellucci
"I love this city to death, architecturally beautiful, the people are friendly without being invasive, and the food is stupendous."
Paolo and Vittorio Taviani
"When we arrived at Piazza Castello, immersed in its new light, we said to each other that it was time to set the dolly up here for the camera."
