Turin is like its Mole, elegant, ingenious, elusive.
Turin has been: from the small village inhabited by Taurine tribes to its brief parenthesis as capital of the Italian kingdom. In the cafés, where liqueurs of an ancient Alpine tradition can still be found, Turin is still the city of the Savoys, in that warmth that smells of chocolate everything is as it was then. And as the fog dissolves as if sucked by the calm-flowing Po surrounded by wide parks, the peripheral neighborhoods once inhabited by Fiat workers appear, as if they had never existed. Cars, traffic lights, tram lines, Parisian-style attics appear; traffic resumes. Turin becomes an industrial metropolis again, the first in Italy, the only one for a long time. But mixed with the smog particles that dirty the air, that strange and elusive atmosphere continues to exist, rich in elegance and charged with enterprise that gives this quiet-looking city a surprising charm.
