City Overview

Turin was Italy's first capital and is the capital of Piedmont — known for Baroque architecture, café and chocolate culture, and the automotive industry (FIAT). Living costs are clearly lower than Milan's, the Alps are on the doorstep for winter skiing, and the orderly, liveable city is an underrated northern option.
