General Info

Turin is a major industrial city as well as a business and cultural center in northwest Italy, located mainly on the west bank of the Po River. Turin is well-known as the home of the Shroud of Turin, headquarters of Fiat automobile manufacturer and host of the 2006 Winter Olympics. It was the first capital of Italy. You will be astonished by the daring lines of a style that, from the late 17th century, transformed Turin into one of the capitals of Baroque art. Magnificent Royal Residences and imposing church domes bear witness to the greatness of architects such as Guarino Guarini, Filippo Juvarra and Ascanio Vitozzi.

Main Sights

With its 40 museums, Turin can satisfy everyone's curiosity. The Museo Nazionale del Cinema housed in the truly astounding Mole Antonelliana, proposes an unforgettable adventure in the fascinating world of film, from shadow theatre to the latest of Hollywood's special effects. Then there is the GAM - City Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art - which exhibits paintings by Chagall, Modigliani and Picasso among others. The Egyptian Museum (Museo Egizio), the third in the world after the one in Cairo and the British Museum for the quantity and importance of the objects conserved: more than 30,000 pieces narrate 5000 years of history through art, religion and daily life in the time of the great pharahos. Located in the same building is the Galleria Sabauda which houses the work of Piedmontese Artists, together with Tuscan and Venetian masterpieces and precious Flemish and Dutch paintings. Inside the Cathedral, Turin conserves one of the most important items for the Christian religion, the Holy Shroud, or sheet that is thought to have been wound around the body of Christ. The whole city is starred with churches and religious monuments: from the Sanctuary of the Consolata, a place of Marian worship that conserves endless ex-votos, to the Church of Corpus Domini built in memory of the so-called 'Miracle of Turin' which happened in 1453; from the Church of Maria Ausiliatrice, a large Salesian complex founded by Don Giovanni Bosco, to the Basilica of Superga, built to fulfil a vow expressed by Prince Eugene of Savoy.
