The capital city of Piedmont and the inaugural capital of Italy after the Risorgimento, Turin has a reputation as an industrial powerhouse that belies its modern sheen.
Success seems to come naturally to Turin; its main football team Juventus are the most decorated club in Italy while the car giant Fiat can also call the city home. Another success story was the 2006 Winter Olympics which imbued Turin with a renewed energy and zest for tourism. |
