Tapulon
A traditional recipe from Borgomanero. It can be made with mule meat or chopped veal.
Preparation
Place butter, diced bacon, garlic and laurel in a casserole and brown. Remove the garlic when it has browned. Add the chopped meat together with cloves and fennel seeds. Add salt and pepper when the liquid has evaporated. Pour in a glass of red wine and boil at a high temperature for 10 minutes, then add broth and cook at a lower temperature. The original recipe can be completed by adding cabbage, if desired.

Historical Wine Cellars in Canelli
The wine cellars – which hold ancient barrels perfectly lined-up – have brick arches, lowered large round arches connected to each other by tunnels that reach into the layers and strata of earth which have formed over the centuries.
Castello di Mazzè
In the ancient underground parts of the medieval castle is the Museo della Tortura (Museum of Torture): tools and methods from the Holy Inquisition. The building is surrounded by a large park with a scenic view looking out over the Canavese.
Forte di Fenestrelle
The largest fortified structure in Europe and the longest wall-structure in the world after the Great Wall of China: a 635-meter inclination, 3 km long, 1,300,000 square meters large, 4,000 steps in the Scala Coperta (Covered Staircase), 2,500 steps in the Scala Reale (Royal Staircase), 5 drawbridges, and 183 lights to illuminate the interior.

People
Lina Wertmuller
“I know Torino well, I filmed The Seduction of Mimi here with great pleasure. I have fond memories, it is a city that I like very much. I have always found it to be extremely elegant.”
Mixo
“I noticed that Torino has changed since the Olympics, but I don’t live here anymore and I couldn’t say if it has changed for the better or not.”
Davide Ferrario
“Torino was irreplaceable, not so much as a backdrop, but as a silent character. I have said many times that the city is extraordinary from an architectural viewpoint. Not because it is “beautiful” in a generic sense…Torino is extremely varied, perhaps it is often contradictory – but above all it is a city that tells a story."
