Thanks for introducing me to Turin! Never gave it much thought before and really enjoyed it.

Thank you, Michael! I would definitely like to return there one day. Apparently, the fall is also an excellent time to go because everything turns gold.

Isn't it great! I have been twice for quick trips. It feels so different than southern/central Italy. I really want to see the Fiat factory and the Agnelli art collection. (and have as many bicerin as I can)

Hi Nolan, you give nice little insights in a city. And the short videoclips make it vividly. I also would like a question about how one sees his city or country within Europe. Do they also feel like European citizens?

Here is what Andrea said: “Hi! Yes, I feel like a European citizen and would like to see a stronger bond within the EU states. But I think it is not a common opinion in Italy (I don't know exactly in my city).”

That's a really good question. I'll ask that as well.

A great article about a very underrated city. I've lived in Piemonte either part time or full time for 21 years and for me, the city has a different vibe than the rest of Italy. The people are sort of typical Piemontese, which means they seem closed until you know them. I love the parks, the style, the aperitivo culture, the city's beautiful piazze, and yeah, that unbelievable market.

The first Eataly was also opened in Torino in Lingotto by Oscar Farinetti. The city hosts the Slow Food Salone di Gusto every other year.

There's so much to explore there. Thank you for highlighting Torino!

I'm going for a long weekend later this month, mostly because it's close to Milan, where I currently live. But I'm getting really curious now!

Keep me posted! One thing I love about travel writing on Substack is that these articles are alive and growing in the comment section.

Love all the added visuals - makes it feel like we’re there with you! And somehow I read the interview trying to imitate an Italian accent in my head…. 😅
