Theatres Theatres
An unstoppable stream of live performances will flood Piemonte, and will make this region an exceptionally fertile land for the growth and spread of all types of theatre. Actors, renowned directors, dancers, celebrated choreographers, musicians and illustrious Maestri will find here important theatres, some of which are remarkable from an artistic and historical point of view. Here they will have the opportunity to best express their art, following in the wake of other celebrated artists who first trod these boards and who left us indelible memories of their talent and of what the word “performance” means. A lively audience, who is especially responsive to performing arts, will welcome these artists in cities and towns, on the plain, in the hills and in the mountains of Piemonte.

Requested by Re Carlo Alberto, the Forte (Fort) di Vinadio represents one of the most important examples of military architecture from the Alps. It extends length-wise for 1,200 meters, on three levels, which cover about 10 km of interior passageway.
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.
Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens
Villa Taranto and its gardens, which look out over Lago Maggiore, have a vast botanical trove that includes about 1,000 plants, which until today had never been cultivated in Italy, and about 20,000 varieties and species of particular botanical importance.

People
Fiorella Mannoia
“Now I gladly return to this city that has become so beautiful, even solar…it seems to me as if it has blossomed like a flower. In the past I never came willingly, it was dark, scarred by the oppression of the FIAT and an aura of sadness.”
Sergio Rubini
“Torino is a city that one could decide to live in. It’s outstandingly good to arrive in Piazza Carignano and go to dinner at the Cambio, stroll through Piazza San Carlo or go for a ride to Porta Palazzo amongst the different colours, smells and languages”.
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."
