Living in Turin

Turin is one of the most important cities of Northern Italy. It lies at the centre of the Region, called “Piemonte” (the ‘land at the foot of the mountains’).
Turin is a city with a thousand faces: centuries of art and a rich living culture of food and wine; traditional crafts side by side with scientific research, a powerful industrial force in the forefront of innovation and new technologies.
Indeed, Turin is a city that looks towards the future, confident of its historic legacy of material and cultural resources. Moreover, the 2006 Winter Olympic Games represented a formidable recognition for Turin, its region, the city's sporting heritage and its close relationship with the mountains that surround it.
