About this place
Turin (Italian: Torino) is the capital of the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy, with a population of about 844,000 (2023) and a metropolitan area of roughly 1.5 million. For many travelers, it's the gateway to the Val d'Aosta ski resorts, but the city is an outstanding destination in its own right. It charms visitors with an old-world aristocratic ambiance, grand boulevards and baroque palaces, arcade-lined streets, and a rich cultural and artistic heritage.
Originally a Roman colony, Turin became a royal capital under the Savoy dynasty, which embellished the city in the 18th century with elegant piazzas and opulent palaces — five of which, along with nine more in the region, are UNESCO World Heritage sites. The city was the first capital of a unified Italy and later grew into an industrial powerhouse through the automobile industry (FIAT was founded here in 1899 and Lancia in 1906). After a period of decline in the late 20th century, Turin reinvented itself with new industries, design, and tourism, and hosted the 2006 Winter Olympic Games.
