The ancient Turin, the Turin which was the first capital city of Italy, the great industrial pole of Turin: here different identities meet, that left their mark and are visible in the cultural, architectonic and monumental legacy of the city.
Besides Baroque and Liberty masterpieces one can find constructions carried out by the greatest contemporary architects, who marked the transformation of the city, begun in the 90′s and accelerated by the 2006 Olympic Winter Games: an occasion to reveal to the world a renewed city, thanks to its beauty, its modernity, its comforts and facilities, and above all its energy.
After a century as a Italian Capital city for industry, and for Fiat in particular, the city has gone beyond cars, focusing on new strategic sectors such as food, bio-Tech, ICT, design and finance. Witnesses of that change are the designer Pininfarina and Italdesign-Giugiaro, yachts of Azimut, coffee Lavazza and large banking realities such as the Group Intesa-Sanpaolo and bank CRT, which flowed into Unicredit group.
New areas capable of carrying the city in the great challenge of internationalization. A challenge set on the level of enterprise and of institutions: in fact, have already based in Turin the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization (ITCILO), the Institute for Research on Crime and Justice, the Staff College and the European Training Foundation of the European Union.
A city with a great cultural and industrial tradition, the modern Turin has been capable of diversifying its aims, focusing on its own touristic and cultural patrimony, on the quality of the environment and on a renewed way of living of the citizens.
