Italy : Torino celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Italian unification
The year 2011 will be the 150th anniversary of Italian unification and Torino will be celebrating the event from March to November with theme exhibitions. The town which was the birth place of Camillo Cavour whom everyone considers to be the real forefather of Italy, is proud of its crucial role in the Risorgimento, which enabled Torino to become in 1861, the first capital of the kingdom of Italy.
