Water Parks
Is a hydrotubing speed race with friends or is the adrenaline rush you get from jumping off the Super Kamikaze slide better? Piemonte water parks offer scads of ways to spend the day “at the beach”, with choices that range from participating in fun water games, to hanging out around the pool or in the solarium to work on a tan, or to relaxing while immersed in a hydromassage pool. Kids and families can play together and spend positive time together while taking part in and making use of the many available activities and structures. Areas specifically designed for the youngest family members and monitored by specialized personnel are everywhere and allow children to have fun while feeling free and safe.

Places
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.
Palaisozaki
It is the new Torino Olympic Palasport (Sports Arena) designed by the Japanese architect Arata Isozaki for the Winter Olympics in Torino 2006. A multi-functional space, versatile and flexible which, thanks to the mobility of its platform, can turn from an ice rink into a concert, show, or convention venue.
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
Piero Chiambretti
"The free time I have, I spend in Torino. It’s the place where I grew as a human and professionally. My years of study and cabaret, those of fleeing and returning a winner, those of my haunts. Torino is my life."
Umberto Eco
"Without Italy, Torino would be more or less the same. But, without Torino, Italy would be very different."
Patty Smith
"Torino is a distinct city, with a lot of character. It’s not like Firenze or other Italian cities that overwhelm you, where you’re overcome by tourists. It is a city that has a very precise personality, a style, a soul."
