Discover the Traditional Bread from Turin, Italy

About the city of Turin

Set in the shadow of the Alps in Piedmont, Turin is a city rich in history and culture. Originally a Roman settlement, it became the seat of the Savoy dynasty in 1563 and Italy’s first capital after unification in 1861. Following political changes, it fell into decline but revived in the early 20th century as the birthplace of Italian industry, with companies like Fiat attracting many immigrants. Known for iconic brands such as Caffarel chocolate and Lavazza coffee, Turin earned a reputation for design and innovation. The 2006 Winter Olympics revitalized the city, showcasing its charm and elegance. Today, Turin features beautiful boulevards, a captivating historic center, and a lively atmosphere, making it one of Italy’s most enjoyable cities to visit, complete with 18 kilometers of arcades for exploring in any weather.
