Turin, in the heart of Piemonte, has always been a capital: of the Savoy family, of Italy, of the Alps, of publishing, of industry. A very elegant city that gave birth to the first marketable hard chocolate and Italy’s most iconic car, the Fiat 500 – and also gave hospitality to the most important figures in European culture. Visionary architects and enlightened entrepreneurs made it great and beautiful and the city is now booming with contemporary art, live music, museums, and innovative food and wine culture. This guide will reveal you 111 different faces of Turin: places, flavours, shades, and people.

What it’s like to sit on a bench made for a 32 feet tall person? Why does cardoons have a hunchback? Where is one of the masterpieces of Bermejo, envied even by the Prado Museum? Which food is so precious to deserve an auction? Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, treasures of Piemonte region and of Humanity, have been included by Unesco on the World Heritage List for their wine landscape. Territories profoundly different from each other, which combine old farmer tradition to continuous research and innovation. Not only top quality production of wine and food, small villages and historical castles on top of the hills, caressed by fog and fertility, but also painters, writers and sport champions who became legends. An uncommon tour through 111 and more places, stories and secrets of one of most extraordinary and unknown area of Italy.

Siamo sicuri che là penna Bic sia francese? Cosa c entrano Gramsci e la Fiat? Si può viaggiare su una dentiera? Romana, un po'rinascimentale, poi barocca, liberty e contemporanea, aristocratica e operaia, tecnologica e magica, Torino è da sempre La dei Savoia, d'Italia, delle Alpi, del lavoro. Tra "piole" e caffè storici, architetti visionari e imprenditori illuminati, questa guida racconta 111 Torino diverse, luoghi, storie e persone.

Esistono panchine per giganti? Perché i cardi hanno una gobba? Che cosa studia un cane all’università?

Ma oltre all’eccellenza culinaria e agli antichi borghi che punteggiano le colline, sotto la carezza dalla nebbia, questa regione nasconde 111 storie e personaggi unici al mondo. Libro realizzato con il patrocinio della Regione Piemonte.
