This is a guide to Turin. And Turin is Turin. It is not just any other city. Besides being my own city, Turin is also my home. And like every house it has an entranceway, the station of Porta Nuova, a kitchen, the market at Porta Palazzo, a bathroom, the Po, and then of course the salon of Piazza San Carlo, and that terrace which is Parco del Valentino and the stowaway of the Balon, and a host of other nooks and crannies. Opening this book is a little like coming home. My place. Your place.
