The mountain setting of Turin alone is worth the journey. Turin is a real city in all senses of the word, a great city ringed by a continuous backdrop of mountains and hills. It is a city of the plains, reflecting the centuries-old plans of the dynasty of the House of Savoy, from the mountains to the plains.

However, it is still a city whose alpine calling remains intact: a tangible and striking reference point which sets it apart from any other European city.

Turin Info: The mountain setting of Turin alone is worth the journey. Turin is a real city in all senses of the word, a great city ringed by a continuous backdrop of mountains and hills. It is a city of the plains, reflecting the centuries-old plans of the dynasty of the House of Savoy, from the mountains to the plains. However, it is still a city whose alpine calling remains intact: a tangible and striking reference point which sets it apart from any other European city.

In this perfectly flat corridor, crossed by the tributary streams and rivers of the great river, the Po, which precisely at Turin assumes the dimensions fitting to a great river, the genius of Caesar Augustus had placed the logical foundations of the castrum (fort) dedicated to his name. This was the Augusta Taurinorum - a decisive imprint which has been respected and expanded by the engineers and architects of the Dukes and Kings of Savoy of the 19th and 20th centuries.

This city, built on a regular grid plan, is both pragmatic and cultured. After the transferral of the capital of the new Kingdom of Italy from Turin to Florence and then to Rome, it seemed to be ready-made to reconvert its physical and intellectual energy to the greatest industrial adventure of the 20th century, that of the automobile industry. Having been the capital of Italy, and before that, of Sicily and Sardinia, Turin has experienced - like a real laboratory city - the birth of a great industrial trust and the identification of the city with this trust, with the acquisition of a new sovereignty, no longer a political and territorial one, but an industrial and financial one.

However, Turin is getting ready to change even this latest phase of its history. The conversion of the Lingotto premises from military-style factory to a temple dedicated to the advanced services sector is the most obvious evidence of this, together with a new focus on culture and its institutions, especially those - like the Museo dell’Automobile (Car Museum) - which best illustrate the history of the city. From being the capital of a bureaucratic military state, Turin has become the reference point of contemporary industrial and technological development, and perhaps in the future, will be the model for the management of that inexhaustible resource, the cultural heritage of Italy.
