THE CITY #THECITY#

Turin is located considerably closer toSwitzerland than to Rome. This factpermeates the city and is revealed in thecity centre and the solid turn of thecentury districts. Turin has its roots in theindustrialisation of the 20th century andthe struggle for democracy and progress.Here people arrive on time and parkcorrectly. You eat well - but only after along day’s work.

The Romans founded the legionnairescamp Augusta Taurinorum. QuadrilateroRomano is still the city centre, but littlesurvives from classical antiquity. Insteadthe historic monuments date from the 17thand 18th centuries, erected by the kings ofSavoy who ruled the region at that time.

The struggle for a united Italy started inPiemonte and Turin was the country’s firstcapital city, 1861-65. This became adriving force in the creation of an industrialmetropolis in Northern Italy, where for along time Fiat constituted the engine. ButTurin lives in the present day and islooking to the future for its identity.
