Follow photographer Fabio Miglio as we discover the hidden secrets of this magical city.
Torino travel (places to visit in one day in Turin)
Turin, as the former capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of Italy, is home of the Savoy Residences. In addition to the 17th-century Royal Palace, built for Madama Reale Christine Marie of France (the official residence of the Savoys until 1865) there are many palaces, residences and castles in the city centre and in the surrounding towns. Turin is home to Palazzo Chiablese, the Royal Armoury, the Royal Library, Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Carignano, Villa della Regina, and the Valentino Castle. The complex of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy in Turin and in the nearby cities of Rivoli, Moncalieri, Venaria Reale, Agliè, Racconigi, Stupinigi, Pollenzo and Govone was declared a World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1997. In recent years, Turin has become an increasingly popular tourist destination, ranking 203rd in the world and 10th in Italy in 2008, with about 240,000 international arrivals.[11]
The inside of the Egyptian Museum, the second largest in the world after the one in Cairo
The Egyptian Museum of Turin specialises in archaeology and anthropology, in particular the Art of Ancient Egypt. It is home to what is regarded as one of the largest collections of Egyptian antiquities outside of Egypt. In 2006 it received more than 500,000 visitors.[47] The Museum of Oriental Art houses one of the most important Asian art collections in Italy.[48][49]
Other museums include the National Museum of Cinema, the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, the Museum of Human Anatomy Luigi Rolando, the Museo delle Marionette (puppet museum) and the Museo Nazionale della Montagna (National Museum of the Mountains).
The city is home to the well-known Shroud of Turin: a linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have suffered physical trauma in a manner consistent with crucifixion. It is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in the city centre. The origins of the shroud and its image are still the subject of intense debate among scientists, theologians, historians and researchers. It is popularly believed to be a depiction of Jesus Christ, however this matter is still controversial, as there seems to be a sufficient amount of historical and scientific evidence supporting the idea that it is, or is not, the Holy Face of Jesus. Nonetheless, it is a symbol of religious devotion and is one of the city's main symbols and tourist attractions.
After it had been little more than a town for a long time, in 1559 the Duke Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy made Turin the capital of his domains. The Duke had ambition to transform the city into a major artistic and cultural capital, and in the following centuries numerous artists were to work at the Savoy court, especially architects and planners like Carlo di Castellamonte and his son Amedeo, Guarino Guarini and, in the 18th century, Filippo Juvarra and Benedetto Alfieri.
Palazzo Madama e Casaforte degli Acaja
As for the painting and the visual arts, Turin became a point of reference, especially in the 20th century. In the 1920s, the painter Felice Casorati inspired a number of students called The group of six of Turin and these included Carlo Levi, Henry Paolucci, Gigi Chessa, Francis Menzio, Nicola Galante and Jessie Boswell. Artists born in Turin include the sculptor Umberto Mastroianni and the architect Carlo Mollino. Between the 1960s and the 1970s, the international centre of Turin (Arte Povera), the presence in the city of artists like Alighiero Boetti, Mario Merz, Giuseppe Penone, Piero Gilardi and Michelangelo Pistoletto. In those years there was a strong artistic influence of designer Armando Testa. Artists currently operating in the city include Ugo Nespolo and Carol Rama.

Top Things to Do in Turin - Piazza Castello - A Guided Tour
Piazza Castello, the central square that contains all the history of the city, from its Roman foundation to the memorial stone reminding us of a Turinese resident deported to Auschwitz (161 Piazza Castello). At the centre of the square is the Castello degli Acaja (Castle of the Acaja) (13th -15th century) which is transformed into Palazzo Madama (Lady Palace) (17th – 18th century), the ancient residence of the Royal Ladies which then became the seat of the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy (Turin was the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy from 1861 to 1864). You can also find the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo (Royal Church of Saint Lawrence), a baroque masterpiece by Guarino Guarini dated 1679, whose interior will leave you speechless.

STORY LINE:
The city of Turin in Italy, is attempting to redefine itself as a popular tourist destination, on the back of the Winter Olympic Games which start in the city on 10 February.
An expected two million people are expected to attend the games.
So far, tourists' impressions are generally favourable, although one man said the works and traffic related to the Games sometimes made it difficult to get around.
Turin is most famous for the Turin Shroud, traditionally the cloth which Jesus Christ was wrapped in after he was taken down from the cross, and allegedly bearing the imprint of his body.
And for decades it has been closely linked to Fiat car factories.
But the city has now turned to other attractions in an attempt to sell itself as a tourist destination to the world, and is playing host to some of the world's finest historical treasures to attract tourists.
It's now showing artistic jewels, baroque architecture, royal palaces from the Savoy dynasty, an Egyptian collection second only to that in Cairo, as well as the resident Shroud.
Measuring 4.42 metres long by 1.13 metres wide and made of linen herringbone weave, the Shroud was found in Turkey in 544, brought to France during the crusades and finally taken to Turin in 1578.
Also on display, at the Bricherasio Palace Museum, is Artemidoro's papyrus, the most ancient map in the world.
Professor Salvatore Settis, Director of the Exhibition, said the papyrus is unique in several respects.
It has a geographical (map) of Roman Spain which is the oldest and the most important one from the classical world.
Turin took advantage of special funds made available for the Olympic Games, by building the first conductor-less metro in Europe, restoring ancient buildings and archaeological sites, and creating new hotels and museums.

Turin - Italy
Turin is a major city as well as a business and cultural centre in northern Italy, capital of the Piedmont region, located mainly on the left bank of the Po River surrounded by the Alpine arch. The population of the city proper is 909,193 (November 2008) while the population of the urban area is estimated by Eurostat to be 1.7 million inhabitants; the Turin metropolitan area is estimated by OECD to have a population of 2.2 million.
Turin is a flourishing, industrious and cosmopolitan European city, which enjoys state-of-the-art technology and architectural developments. The city boasts a rich culture and history, and is known for its numerous art galleries, restaurants, churches, palaces, operahouses, piazzas, parks, gardens, theatres, libraries, museums and other venues. Turin is well-known for its baroque, rococo and neo-classical architecture. Much of the city's public squares, castles, gardens and elegant palazzi (such as Palazzo Madama), were built by Sicilian architect Filippo Juvarra, who modeled these buildings on the Baroque and classical style of Versailles. Examples of these French-themed edifices include the Royal Palace of Turin, the Palazzina di caccia of Stupinigi and the Basilica di Superga. Turin is sometimes called the cradle of Italian liberty, due to its having been the birthplace and home of notable politicians and people who contributed to the Risorgimento, such as Cavour. The city currently hosts some of Italy's best universities, colleges, academies, lycea and gymnasia, such as the Polytechnic University of Turin. Prestigious and important museums, such as the Museo Egizio[7] and the Mole Antonelliana are also found in the city. Turin's several monuments and sights make it one of the world's top 250 tourist destinations, and the tenth most visited city in Italy in 2008.
Turin used to be a major European political centre, being Italy's first capital city in 1861 and being home to the House of Savoy, Italy's royal family. Even though much of its political significance and importance had been lost by World War II, it became a major European crossroad for industry, commerce and trade, and currently is one of Italy's main industrial centres, being part of the famous industrial triangle, along with Milan and Genoa. Turin is ranked third, after Rome and Milan, for economic strength. With a GDP of $58 billion, Turin is the world's 78th richest city by purchasing power, and even though the city was unable to become a world city, unlike Milan or Rome, it was ranked by GaWC as economically efficient, along with Jerusalem, Genoa, Macau, Marseille, Liverpool, Strasbourg, Salt Lake City, Seville and Tijuana, to name a few.Turin is also home to much of the Italian automotive industry.
Turin is well known as the home of the Shroud of Turin, the football teams Juventus F.C. and Torino F.C., the headquarters of automobile manufacturers Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo, and as host of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Several International Space Station modules, such as Harmony and Columbus, were also manufactured in Turin. It was the capital of the Duchy of Savoy from 1563, then of the Kingdom of Sardinia ruled by the Royal House of Savoy and finally the first capital of a unified Italy.
It is often referred to as the Capital of the Alps. Turin is also known as the Automobile Capital of Italy or the Detroit of Italy; in Italy it is also called [La] capitale Sabauda.
