Turin - Torino grand tour
Walking is definitely the best way to feel the
pulse of Turin: stroll around the city parks, drop into its
historic cafés, take in the multiethnic quarters, enjoy fashion and
shopping, but don’t forget that Turin is magical too. So put on your walking
shoes and let your curiosity lead the way.
Art and culture
Turin stands ever more for
culture
with a capital C, with art not only in its museums. The streets of the city
are crammed with literary and artistic creations,
even the walls now play their part. Turin has gained recognition in
Italy and abroad as one of the liveliest cities that constantly expresses
its intrinsic desire for beauty not only in a tradition embodied in its
dance, theatre and design schools but also in its attention to talented
young artists and its more experimental, modern attitude to culture. Turin
is one of the European capitals of Contemporary Art.
A city that was the birthplace of Arte Povera, a city
inspired by the exuberance of the Futurist movement and the creativity of
Felice Casorati. Turin is thronged with private galleries, Foundations and
permanent exhibitions. Without forgetting a suite of museums
that ranges from the
Castello di Rivoli to the
Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea,
Museo Egizio,
Museo del Cinema and the
Museo dell’Automobile.
