Turin
Overview:
Once seen as little
more than an industrial city, Turin is now
undergoing extensive urban regeneration.
Situated on the mighty River Po in the far
northwest of Italy, and surrounded by stunning
alpine scenery, Turin offers visitors a feast of
baroque architecture, ornate Art Nouveau cafes,
and museum collections covering everything from
Egyptology to contemporary art.
For years Turin was synonymous with car giant
FIAT, which was founded here in 1899 - however
the city’s origins go back much further.
Julius Caesar’s Quadrilatero Romano (Roman
Quarter) can still be seen and is now abuzz with
trendy restaurants. By the early Middle Ages the
powerful Savoy dynasty had taken control -
leaving a legacy of lavish palaces. After
unification, Turin was the first capital of
Italy, an honor it held for just four years.
