Gluttonous Turing
Torino (TO)
Goloso
Magazine: May 2007
The Winter 2006 Olympics have revived Turin, which has changed both its look and its character. Traditionally rooted to its past as the capital of Savoy, this reserved and slightly snobbish city has flowered into a welcoming and open town, generous in beauty and news. From the elegance of the town centre, with its wonderful squares, striking monuments and spectacular architecture, to the futuristic structures of Lingotto, the romance of Valentino Park, the trendy hotspots lining the Murazzi on the shores of the River Po and the amazing Museum of Cinema in a crescendo of visuals and emotions. A sparkling, recently restored Palazzo Madama with its baroque façade and magnificent staircase symbolises the city’s history, full of art treasures, among which, the Portrait of a Man by Antonello da Messina, who captures such a depth of expression that his subject seems to look you square in the eyes to discover who you are. Not to be missed, a climb to the top of the tower, the view of the city will sweep you away.
