Turin and Piedmont

Do you know the meaning of the Italian automotive industry FIAT? It means Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino (Italian Automotive Factory Turin) and was born in 1889 in the city of Turin. So the Piedmont city could be nicknamed the “Detroit of Italy” and the local Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile is one of the most important automotive museums in the world.
Turin is also a city of art and history being the seat of the family that finally became kings of Italy until 1946, the Savoia family. You’ll walk the streets where people like King Vittorio Emanuele and the Count Cavour planned the unification and independence of my country. Their palaces still dot the city and the surroundings: the hunting lodge of Stupinigi, Castello Valentino, the Royal Palace, Palazzo Madama, Venaria Reale and many more are waiting for you. Turin is also the place of the most important Egyptian museums outside…Egypt! A great experience if you travel with kids.
Turin’s region, named Piedmont, is famous for his great food tradition and some of the best wines in Italy. I can organize tours of wine cellars of Barolo, Barbaresco, Arneis and Moscato… with tasting, of course.
