Dear Visitor, welcome to Italy!

2019 is the year in which Italy will be overflowing with celebrations marking the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci, the man who more than any other, represents Italy throughout the world.

Andrea Jarach Several cities including Milan, Florence and Publisher ® Rome will host a series of special events.

Where The full program of Italian exhibitions and events honouring Leonardo throughout 2019 can be found on the pages of Where®. We invite you to discover the country that gave life to the person considered the world over as one of history’s greatest thinkers.

While visiting Italy you’ll understand why only Italy could have given birth to this man whose creative mind shaped the intellectual, social, cultural, and political facets of European life from the fifteenth century onwards. Leonardo made an indelible contribution to philosophy, nature, medicine and art. All that now remains is for us to look for the traces left by the enigmatic Leonardo. You’ll find them in whatever part of Italy you’re visiting.

If you happen to find them, please share your comments, with your photo, on our social media. By the end of the year, we’d like to collect a gallery of the friends of Italy.

Happy hunting!

MOLE ANTONELLIANA A landmark building of Turin since 1889, it was purchased by the municipality who decided to make it a monument to Italian unification.

Standing at a height of 167.5m, at the time of its construction it was the highest brick building in Europe. Built in an eclectic style, the Mole has a squat square base topped by a large dome with a spire. You can ascend to the panoramic observation platform either by elevator or on foot by climbing its 573 steps. Since 2000, it has hosted the National Museum of Cinema. 1 MUSEO EGIZIO Founded in 1824, Turin’s Egyptian Museum is the oldest Egyptian museum in the world and the second in terms of the value and quality of its treasures outside of Cairo. In 2006, during Turin’s Winter Olympics, the museum was re-modelled by Oscar-winning set designer Dante Ferretti. It houses more than 37,000 4 W H E R E T U R I N I M A R C H 2019

headquarters of the first Subalpine Senate. Its name refers to ‘Madame Royale’ Christine of France, who took up residence here in 1600.

The view of the city from the Panoramic Tower is spectacular. 4

MUSEI REALI The residence of the Savoys until 1865, it is now owned by the Italian government. The museum tour comprises a 3km route spread over 30,000 sq.m. and 7 hectares of Royal Gardens. In 1563, Duke Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy moved the capital of the duchy from Chambéry to Turin, marking the beginning of a major urban transformation and the enrichment of the dynastic collections, which now include artifacts from the prehistoric era to the present time. 3

PARCO DEL VALENTINO Located on the banks of the Po River, and spread over 550,000 sq.m., this is the city’s most popular park. Its interior houses numerous treasures including the Castello del Valentino, a UNESCO world heritage site and a part of the circuit of the Royal Residences of Turin and Piedmont, the Medieval Village and Castle, and the Botanical Gardens (1729). 5

PALAZZO MADAMA Situated in the centre of piazza Castello, it has always been a reference point in the city, from Roman times to 1848, when it became the

VILLA DELLA REGINA The summer country residence of the House of Savoy, it was built at the beginning of the 17th century as a court vineyard. It became known as Villa della Regina (literally the Queen’s Villa) when

The old Carpano plants, lying adjacent to the Lingotto complex, are now occupied by ‘Eataly’s’ vast food market. 10

MUSEO NAZIONALE DELL’AUTOMOBILE The Car Museum (MAUTO) was opened in 1960 and is one of the oldest car museums in the world. The semi-circular building overlooking the River Po acts as a prelude to the three floors of the collection featuring a spectacular layout designed by François Confinio, who also designed the exhibition space of the Museum of Cinema. 11 9

ALLIANZ JUVENTUS STADIUM Designed to host up to 41,507 spectators, this is the sixth largest stadium in Italy. It is owned by the Juventus Football Club whose home matches have been played here since 2011. An architectural symbol, it is one of the most avantgarde facilities in the world. The J-Museum, the official football museum of the ‘bianconero’ team is hosted inside the stadium. 12

King Vittorio Amedeo II gifted it to his future bride in 1714. Don’t miss a visit to this magnificent residence, distinguished by the remains of its original 18th century decorations and furnishings, and its Italianate gardens. Villa della Regina is a part of the circuit of the Royal Residences of Turin and Piedmont, a UNESCO world heritage site. 6 TEATRO REGIO The Regio is one of the most important Italian theatres on the European scene, offering an action-packed program of opera and ballet. It was designed by Filippo Juvarra and inaugurated in 1740. Destroyed by a fire in 1936, and rebuilt in 1973 by Turinese architect Carlo Mollino, the only part of the original building that still remains is its façade, now a UNESCO world heritage site. Its unusual gate, named ‘Odissea Musicale’ (Musical Odyssey) is by Umberto Mastroianni. 7

BASILICA DI SUPERGA Situated on the hills surrounding Turin, it offers a breathtaking view. It was built as a thanksgiving to the Virgin Mary for Turin’s deliverance from the French siege (1706) and designed by Filippo Juvarra. One of the most picturesque ways of accessing it is by the Rack Tramway, which rattles the 3km up the hillside. 13

VIA PO PROMENADE A stroll beneath the typical Torinese porticoes in via Po, packed with shops and cafés, is an absolute must. From here, you can access Piazza Vittorio Veneto, the largest square in the city. The square ends at the Vittorio Emanuele I bridge, which connects it to the square of the church of the Gran Madre di Dio (1830), renowned for its imposing pantheon-like shape. 8 PIAZZA SAN CARLO Also known as ‘the drawing room’ of the city, it was commissioned by Marie Christine of France in true Parisian style with seemingly endless porticoes housing fashion boutiques, and an equestrian statue - the ‘Caval d’Brons’ – of Duke Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy at its centre. 9 LINGOTTO This complex of buildings built in 1916, based on a project by Matté Trucco to house the FIAT

REGGIA DI VENARIA REALE Located inside the Park of La Mandria, this is a Baroque-style complex built in the mid-17th century as a glorified hunting lodge for Carlo Emanuele II. Particularly worthy of note are the Grand Gallery, the Chapel of St. Hubert, the Galleria di Diana, the 18th century Scuderie Juvarrine and the Citroniera, now used to host events. It is a part of the circuit of the Royal Residences of Turin and Piedmont. 14 PALAZZINA DI CACCIA DI STUPINIGI Built in Baroque style in 1729, and only 10km from Piazza Castello, with its French garden, Stupinigi was the royal family’s favourite place for celebrations and events. At the beginning of the 20th century, Queen Margherita of Savoy took up permanent residence here. In 1919, Stupinigi became the headquarters of the Furniture Museum. It is a part of the circuit of the Royal Residences of Turin and Piedmont, a UNESCO world heritage site. 15 w w w.wh e re t rave l e r. com 5

Egyptian

Museum

A star of the museum world −

Have you heard of Jean-François Champollion? A French archaeologist and Egyptologist and the director of the Egyptian sector of the Louvre in Paris, he is the man who deciphered the mystery of hieroglyphics through the Rosetta Stone in 1822.

It is also thanks to Champollion’s expertise that we owe the defining statement: “The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin.”

This unique and extraordinary Egyptian Museum, the world’s − first Egyptian museum founded in 1824, is the second in terms of the value and number of artifacts (around 40,000) outside of Cairo and the eighth most widely visited museum in Italy.

It’s so well-known that in a classification drawn up by TripAdvisor, it was ranked number one among Italy’s most popular museums, ninth in Europe and fourteenth in the world. The British newspaper The Times listed it as one of the 50 best museums on the planet.

6 W H E R E T U R I N I M A R C H 2019

Despite its longstanding history and historic headquarters – the − imposing Palazzo dell’Accademia delle Scienze, dating back to the 17th century – the museum is extremely modern in terms of both its layout and immersive visitor experience.

Remodelled by Oscar-winning set designer Dante Ferretti, − in 2015 the exhibition space was doubled, following massive renovations, and is now spread over four levels, three above ground and one below ground, organized in chronological order.

Here you’ll find mummies, tombs, papyrus sheets and − everything related to ancient Egypt (included embalmed animals) from the Paleolithic to the Coptic era.

If you’re so overwhelmed that you don’t know where to begin − your tour, get an audio guide. It’s free and allows you to choose and personalize your itinerary to suit individual requirements.

A tip? The Restoration Area on the first floor that allows visitors to watch animal mummies being restored.

► Momix, a company of dancerillusionists founded and directed

by Moses Pendleton, has chosen MARCH to travel down the rabbit hole, to discover a magical world where the human body is subject to change and nothing is what it seems to be…

Inspired by “Alice in Wonderland” and her phantasmagorical world inhabited by strange and whimsical presences, including the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter and the implacable Queen of Hearts, as always, the show is a magical blend of dance, lights, music, costumes and projected imagery.

NATURE ENCAPSULATED AT A FORTRESS

▼ Located one hour from Turin, the Forte di Bard, which has remained almost intact since it was first built, represents one of the best examples of an early 19th century military stronghold.

From 2 February to 2 June, this imposing complex – worth a visit in its own right – is hosting the Italian preview of the prestigious ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year’ competition. The key attraction at this year’s edition is Dutch photographer Marsel van Oosten’s award-winning photograph titled ‘The Golden Couple’ (see photo).

Margherita of Savoy

The Feminine Side of Turin Turin – city of queens and illicit love affairs, and also divas and scientists, who were pioneers of their time. To mark International Women’s Day, we have decided to dedicate this journey into the past to them, discovering the places and personalities of the women whose stories changed the course of the history of the Savoy capital.

nternational Women’s Day’ is celebrated worldwide on 8 March. The custom of acknowledging the ‘fairer sex’ dates back to 1909, when the Socialist Party of America designated the day in honour of the garment workers’ strike in New York, where women protested against the appalling working conditions. The official consecration of 8 March as a national holiday was due to a protest by Russian women who organized a rally on 8 March 1917 to protest against World War I and the Czar’s government. However, it was only in 1975 that the United Nations officially designated 8 March as ‘International Women’s Day’.

To mark the occasion, we have decided to explore the lives and history of several famous or, at times, forgotten women, who lived and made their mark on the city.

Bela Rosin, the King’s Great Love A BIT OF HISTORY

La Mandria Park

It was in 1847 that King Vittorio Emanuele first saw Rosa Vercellana, a beautiful, young brunette. It was after a hunting trip, and he was looking over the balcony of the Racconigi Castle, on the outskirts of Turin (www.residenzereali.it). He was 27, and married with a wife and four children and another child on the way. Rosa had just turned 14. He was the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Savoy; she was the humble daughter of a palace guard. The future king fell in love with her, and this love lasted for the rest of his life. Their affair caused a great scandal at court when Rosa was made Countess of Mirafiori and Fontanafredda. This romance was strongly disapproved of and the couple encountered numerous obstacles, including the opposition of Count Cavour, who following the death of the king’s consort Maria Adelaide of Hapsburg-Lorraine in 1885, did everything in his power to prevent Vittorio Emanuele II from marrying his ‘Rosin’. However, his efforts were in vain. In 1869, the King and Rosa were united in a morganatic marriage. In other words, neither she nor her children were to inherit any of the Savoy’s titles or possessions. She was a queen ‘without crown and without a throne’ and her children were not considered future heirs.

The couple had two children, Vittoria and Emanuele Alberto.

WHAT TO SEE Although Rosa accompanied the King on his travels, she kept a low profile and never lived at court. Traces of her life can still be found in the Royal Apartments of Borgo Castello in the La Mandria Regional Park. The apartments were recently renovated and are open for public viewing. The building’s 20 rooms are decorated with precious artefacts, more than 100 works of art, exquisite fabrics and furniture from the former Savoy collections (www.lavenaria.it).

Margherita of Savoy, the First Queen of Italy

A BIT OF HISTORY To learn more about the history of Margherita of Savoy, let’s head to Turin’s Palazzo Chiablese, where the daughter of Ferdinand of Savoy-Genoa, the first Duke of Genoa and of Elizabeth of Saxony, was born.

Margherita lived here throughout her childhood, developing an inherent love of poetry, art and music.

When she was crowned the first Queen consort of Italy, she surrounded herself with intellectuals, ran a weekly cultural circle at court to promote the arts, and is credited with being the first woman to introduce chamber music in Italy. Her charisma, strong Catholic faith and open-minded views made her immensely popular at court.

She was so deeply loved that Italian poet Giosuè Carducci dedicated an ode to her.

This ode, titled ‘To the Queen of Italy’, is a part of Carducci’s collection of Barbarian Odes.

WHAT TO SEE Traces of her life can be found throughout the city, starting from the Royal Palace, now a part of the itinerary of the Royal Museums (www.museireali.beniculturali.it).

It was here, in the ballroom that Margherita signed a wedding contract in 1868 with her cousin Umberto, the son of King Vittorio Emanuele II. The couple married shortly thereafter in Turin’s Duomo di San Giovanni, the same church that has housed the Holy Shroud since 1578. After a lifetime spent between Turin, Florence, Naples and Rome, Queen Margherita made Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi her Torinese home, following the death of her husband.

The complex houses the so-called ‘Queen’s Garage’, a collection of cars from emerging Italian automobile houses. Few people know that Margherita, an independent, forwardthinking woman, was one of the first people

Royal Palace, Great Ballroom

to drive a car, and strongly supported the use of the locomotive as a means of transport.

Several of the cars from her precious collection are displayed at Turin’s National Car Museum (www.museoauto.it).

TIP FOR FOODIES Do you know why Italy’s most famous pizza is called ‘Margherita’? It’s an interesting story. In 1889, shortly after the Unification of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, previously queen consort of Italy, was visiting Naples with her husband, King Umberto I. To honour the visiting queen, famous Neapolitan pizzamaker Raffaele Esposito of Pizzeria Brandi, invented a specialty called Pizza Margherita.

RITA LEVI-MONTALCINI, WOMAN OF SCIENCE Another illustrious Torinese woman, Rita Levi-Montalcini, was a doctor and scientist of Jewish origin. She won a Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1986, was named a Senator for Life in 2001, and was the first woman to be admitted to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. Although she originally left Turin due Italy’s racial laws, and later to take up a post at Washington University in St. Louis, she never severed her ties with the city of her birth.

Isa Bluette, from Factory Worker to Starsdom A BIT OF HISTORY Isa Bluette was the stage name of Teresa Ferrero Navarrini, one of Italy’s most famous divas of the 1920s and 1930s. Her origins were anything but glorious. She was born in 1898 to a family of humble origins in the outlying, working district of Regio Parco. Aged only 15, she began earning her living as a factory worker at the nearby Regia Manifattura Tabacchi, currently home to the offices of the University of Turin. However, life as a factory worker was not for her. After resigning her ‘safe’ job, she debuted as a singer in several of Turin’s ‘café-chantant’, performing operettas that were extremely popular in the post-war era.

She took the pseudonym Isa Bluette, and rose to fame after introducing the ‘revue’ into Italy, a multi-act form of entertainment, combining music, dance and sketches. It is due her that we owe the launch of several of Italy’s most famous 20th century Italian comedians including Erminio Macario and Totò. While performing she met Nuto Navarrini, an actor, and her one true love, who she married shortly before dying of Tuberculosis in 1939. Although Teresa Ferrero Navarrini was one of the most influential pioneers of the theatre industry, she has been forgotten with the passing of time.

LANDMARK A poignant image at Turin’s Monumental Cemetery pays tribute to the performances of Isa Bluette. Her tomb can be identified by the bas-relief of a dancer holding her arms above her head, giving an impression of lightness and grace.

An important part of our tour that is dedicated to famous Torinese women of the past includes the Cimitero Monumentale where, in addition to the remains of the ‘Bela Rosin’ and noblewomen of the House of Savoy, the famous diva is buried.

Powerful Women on Show

© STUDIPO GONNELLA

Credit for the fact that Palazzo Madama looks like a Baroque residence rather than an austere fortress goes to two women. Though different, they were both of French origin and both queens for long periods of their lives. These two women of the House of Savoy, known as the Royal Madames, were the charming Christine Marie of France (1606-1663), the consort of Victor Amadeues I, and the feisty Marie Jeanne Baptiste of Savoy-Nemours (1644-1724), the wife of Charles Emanuel II. Christine and Marie Jeanne Baptiste, were powerful women and exercised this power to defend the role and autonomy of their country. Until 6 May, they will be the key figures of the exhibition titled ‘Royal Madames.

Culture and power from Paris to Turin ’ hosted at ‘their’ Palazzo Madama. More than 120 works, including paintings, objet d’art, furnishings, fabrics, jewelry, ceramics and engravings pay testimony to their lives, interior décor-style choices, political and cultural activities, loves and fashions, highlighting multi-faceted court life during the Baroque era.

PALAZZINA DI CACCIA DI STUPINIGI Stupinigi was built in Baroque style in 1729,

and is only 10km as the crow flies from Piazza Castello.

In addition to being used for long hunting expeditions in the company of members of the local aristocracy, Stupinigi was often chosen by members of the Savoy household for celebrations and dynastic weddings.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Queen Margherita of Savoy took up permanent residence here. In 1919, Stupinigi became the headquarters of the Furniture Museum, and a space for events and concerts. In addition to its original furnishings and paintings, the museum hosts several masterpieces of cabinetry.

The lodge’s beautifully manicured French gardens and internal spaces are open for public viewing, while its historic park, a part of the hunting reserve, is closed to the public www.ordinemauriziano.it CASTELLO DI RIVOLI Established as a military fortress in 1247, the Rivoli Castle was the first residence of the Savoy duchy.

REGGIA DI VENARIA REALE Located inside the Park of La Mandria, in the historic centre of the town of Venaria, the Reggia di Venaria Reale is a Baroque-style complex built in the mid-17th century as a glorified hunting lodge for Carlo Emanuele II. Its present-day appearance is the result

of work by several prominent architects of the era, including Amedeo di Castellamonte, Michelangelo Garove and lastly Filippo Juvarra, who designed many of its most beautiful and widely photographed spaces, including the Grand Gallery, the Chapel of Saint Hubert and the imposing 18th-century complexes of the Juvarra Stables and the Citroniera (Orangerie), now used to host exhibitions and events.

Inside the Reggia di Venaria Reale, multimedia installations enable visitors to reconstruct the history of court life, while the apartments of King Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy and his wife Rosa Vercellana, remodelled in the adjacent Castello della Mandria, are open for public viewing, as is the room hosting the collection of royal jewels. On the last floor of the palace, above the monumental corridor known as the Galleria di Diana, discerning diners can enjoy a delightful meal at the Dolce Stil Novo alla Reggia, the Reggia’s Michelinstarred restaurant. www.lavenaria.it

he royal residences are easily accessible by bus or car from Turin, and are among some of the best-preserved examples of 17th and 18th century European architecture. They are a living testimony to the prestige of the local monarchy, the Savoy family, the first kings of unified Italy. In addition to Castello del Valentino and Villa della Regina (see Top in Town), the favourite city-based residences of duchesses and princesses, and the fortress of Castello di Moncalieri, the Regge Sabaude complex, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997, includes hunting lodges and country residences, embellished with gardens that reflect the sophistication of courtly life.

The most beautiful arias of world-class opera resound in the spectacular Salone d’Onore of the Stupinigi Hunting Lodge.

Discovering Piedmont

Avant-garde wineries, a legacy of world-class cuisine and marvelous landscapes. All of these things have earned the areas of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato UNESCO World Heritage status, resulting in an elite tourist destination.

BY CHIARA ZACCARELLI

20 W H E R E T U R I N I M A R C H 2019

T

his is UNESCO’s official reason for adding the wine-growing regions of the LangheRoero and Monferrato to its world heritage list in 2014. “An exceptional living testimony to the historical tradition of grape growing and winemaking processes, of a social context, and a rural economy based on viticulture. The vineyards of the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato are an outstanding example of man’s interaction with his natural surroundings.”

This area is protected as a ‘cultural heritage’ which is symbolic, because man has managed to shape it, giving it the unique characteristics that it boasts today.

In this area, the vineyards of several of the world’s most famous wines, including Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti Spumante and Barbera, stretch as far as the eye can see, in a display

of changing colours and softly rolling hills.

Although geographically the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato are neighbouring regions, they all have different morphologies, and cultural characteristics. The region’s varied landscape provides fertile soil for an impressive array of local specialties: from superlative wine, to the prized white truffles of Alba, porcini mushrooms and IGP hazelnuts. Located just an hour’s drive from Turin, these regions can be accessed by car (several of the larger centres can also be reached by train). Other options include one of the many organized wine and tasting tours on offer. Ask your concierge.

THE LANGHE The Langhe are situated between the Tanaro River and Liguria, between the provinces of Asti and Cuneo. Particularly noteworthy among the area’s many tourist attractions

artists, were either used to store bottles of wine, or as pantries, because the temperature inside them remains constant. Several of these old ‘infernot’ are open for public viewing, especially during the ‘vendemmia’ (grape harvest) or on special occasions (www.ecomuseopietracantoni. it). If you feel like sampling some wine, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Although the majority of local wines are red and full-bodied, like Barbera, Grignolino and Freisa, you’ll also find a good selection of whites, including Moscato. An absolute ‘must’ for wine connoisseurs visiting the area is the Enoteca Regionale di Vignale Monferrato. Located in a magnificent 17th century ‘palazzo’, the Enoteca is a great place to taste and purchase some of the area’s best local wines (www.enotecadelmonferrato.it).

Historic wine cellar in Langhe

are its numerous castles, including that of Grinzane Cavour. Built in the 13th century and currently home to the headquarters of the ‘Cavour Regional Enoteca’, the castle, in addition to stocking several of the region’s finest Doc and Docg wines, also hosts the interesting Langhe Museum (www.castellogrinzane. com). Other must-sees include the Castle of Barolo and its surrounding town, which gives its name to the most famous Italian red wine and is thought to date back to mediaeval times.

The town is home to WiMu, a unique wine museum that takes visitors on an immersive journey through the history of viticulture via light, film and installations. The museum is set over three floors of the village’s stunning medieval castle, and the tour includes a visit to the building’s panoramic terrace and its ancient wine cellars (www.wimubarolo.it). After visiting the museum in Barolo, stop in the village of La Morra, better known as ‘the terrace of the Langhe’ thanks to its spectacular views, and head to Massimo Camia’s starred restaurant for a fabulous gourmet meal (www.massimocamia. it). In addition to other specialties, the area is renowned for its famous three-lobed hazelnut, boasting ‘Protected Geographical Indication’ status and used to make various sweet treats.

If you want to purchase these tantalizing specialties and see how they’re made, visit Giovanni Cogno’s artisanal workshop (www. giovannicogno.it). Lastly, an absolute ‘must’ for lovers of medieval history and architecture is a visit to the Castle of Serralunga d’Alba, a beautifully preserved Gothic stronghold (www.

castellodiserralunga.it). After the long walk up to the castle, take a break and treat yourself to a delicious gourmet meal at the Da Guido restaurant located in the nature reserve of Fontanafredda (www.guidoristorante.it).

MONFERRATO Stretching southwards, as far as the foot of the Ligurian Appenines, the Monferrato area occupies a fertile tract of terrain between the provinces of Alessandria and Asti. In addition to numerous historic, cultural and outdoor activities, Monferrato is renowned for its gastronomic specialties. Nature, culture, art and religion combine in a walk that takes visitors on a journey to discover the Nature Park of the Sacro Monte di Crea, in the province of Alessandria, a real feat of architectural design that encompasses Mount Crea and its sanctuary, which in turn, is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

If you prefer a historical visit to an excursion, don’t miss the Eco Museum of ‘Pietra da Cantone’ – a type of sandstone only found in this area – in Cella Monte. In addition to informing visitors about the history, landscapes and art of Monferrato, the museum also organizes initiatives and events targeted at highlighting the historical characteristics of the place. For some years now, the museum has undertaken the arduous but worthwhile task of taking an inventory of the ‘infernot’ in the area. ’Infernot’ are dark, airless underground spaces, carved out in stone, located beneath houses and cellars that, in some instances, are real underground tunnels.

These works of arts, carved and modeled by

ROERO Roero is situated in the northeastern part of the province of Cuneo, to the left of the Tanaro river. Like the neighbouring Langhe, this area is renowned for its enogastronomic and cultural offerings. Among its castles, the Castle of Govone is particularly noteworthy. The castle is located in the province of Cuneo and was formerly one of the royal residences of the House of Savoy (www.castellorealedigovone.it). Located just a short distance from Alba, the Castle of Monticello is one of the most imposing and best-preserved medieval buildings in the area owing to the fact that since 1372 it has been owned and inhabited by the Roero family of Monticello (www.roerodimonticello.it). There’s nothing that says ‘royal highness’ more than a castle. Experience what it feels like to be a prince or princess for one night and stay at the Castle of Guarene, an important stopover on the Piedmontese Baroque itinerary which also hosts a hotel belonging to the Relais&Châteaux chain (www.castellodiguarene.com).

For real foodies, an absolute must is the famous sausage of Bra, a delectable product made from lean beef and bacon. Since it requires hardly any ageing, it’s eaten fresh year-round and traditionally served raw, usually as an antipasto, or cooked in a sauce that is used to dress ‘tajarin’ (typically fresh Piedmontese pasta) or polenta (www.salsicciadibra.it).

Only a few kilometers from Bra, a trip to the architectural complex of the Agenzia di Pollenzo is well worth your time. Built in 1833, as a country residence for the House of Savoy, it now hosts the first University of Gastronomic Sciences in the world. This university was founded and promoted by the international Slow Food association, which studies, protects and disseminates the agricultural and enogastromic traditions of countries worldwide (www.agenziadipollenzo.com). w w w.wh e re t ravel e r. com 21

Top Brands A stroll through the streets of the centre, amidst elegant royal porticoes (that extend for 18km across the city), and squares embellished with sumptuous architecture, is a unique opportunity to soak up the city’s authentic charm.

It’s also a great destination for shopping enthusiasts. In the heart of the city, often referred to as ‘little Paris’, you’ll find the best fashion brands. In particular, the austere and elegant via Roma and the parallel via Lagrange, do justice to the exquisite Italian and international fashions on display. Alternately, a reference point for young, trendy fashion is via Garibaldi – one of the longest pedestrian streets in Europe – which runs from Piazza Castello to Piazza Statuto. The ideal place for lovers of antiques and vintage items is via Po, which links Piazza Castello to Piazza Vittorio Veneto.

Put yourself in my shoes In 2012, a year before founding Velasca, Enrico Casati worked in Singapore. He wanted a pair of elegant shoes, the kind that, like a well-cut suit, Italian men take for granted, but he couldn’t find what he was looking for. He teamed up with Jacopo Sebastio, his current business partner and, together, they established a new company with a clear mission. Their goal was twofold: to create elegant, timeless shoes for people who prefer elegance to passing fads, and to make Italian quality more accessible to those living in foreign countries. Initially, to keep costs to a minimum and facilitate contact, Velasca only sold its footwear online. The company opened its first venue in Milan, the owners’ city of origin, and later another one in Rome. At the end of 2017, Velasca opened a third branch in Turin, with the idea of “creating a meeting place where people who had previously placed online orders from afar could actually hold, touch and try on the products”. However, its mission has not changed. Velasca continues to manufacture Italian shoes, designed and produced in Italy by craftsmen who use their time-honoured skills to dress modern men. Unsurprisingly, the Velasca Bottega in Turin is located just steps from Piazza Bodoni, in an elegant, stylish district hosting print shops, art galleries and Baroque palaces. A ‘salotto’ where people can discuss the merits of Made in Italy while trying on lace-up shoes, boots, Oxford or formal shoes in the knowledge that they will fit to perfection Via G. Mazzini 22/e.

Pastry Shops The traditional/age-old art of pastry making is deeply rooted in Turin, and the city’s confectionery is famous throughout the world. Sweet treats like ‘baci di dama’, marron glacés and ‘giandujotti’ were invented here and exported abroad, while others, which are more inherently Piedmontese, are well worth discovering. It’s therefore no surprise that the city is inundated with top-level pastry shops. Although it’s impossible to mention them all, we’ve compiled a list of several that are rated top in town. By Chiara Zaccarelli CAFFÈ PLATTI If you visit just one of Turin’s historic locales, then it has to be the illustrious, belle epoque Caffè Platti. Opened in 1870, it soon became a social and cultural reference point for 20th century Turin. Here, amidst mirrors, gilded stuccoes, inlaid walnut furniture and gold Louis XVI medallions, you can sample Piedmontese specialties like ‘bunet’, Meliga pastries, ‘bignole’ and Platti cake.

Since 2017, the confectionery has been run by renowned patissier Guido Gobino, the king of Torinese chocolate. www.platti.it Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 72.

T: 011 4546151.

GHIGO This historic pastry shop, located just steps from the Mole, is famous for its hot chocolate, served with freshly whipped cream and marrons glacés (a candied chestnut covered with a sugar glaze).

DINING

Table magic At Magorabin, in a New York design-style ambience, you can choose between a traditional or more creative menu, sit at the chef’s table and allow yourself to be surprised by the choices of Marcello Trentini. By Chiara Zaccarelli

M

agorabin is the starred restaurant of Marcello Trentini, an eclectic chef with a strong personality who enjoys expressing his opinion with no regard for mainstream views. A chef who defends his freedom of choice by serving a 10,000km dish when everyone around him is advocating ‘Kilometer Zero’ cuisine. The dish in question features pigeon breast served with asparagus from Chile and cherries from Madagascar because, in his view, if a product is high quality, it doesn’t matter where it comes from.

At his restaurant, just steps from the Mole Antonelliana, Trentini demonstrates his creativity with a menu featuring dishes like Prawns, Brains and Datterini tomatoes or Sea bass, artichokes and bagna caoda, in addition to Spaghetti, bread, butter and anchovies (see photo) 34 W H E R E T U R I N I M A R C H 2019

or Pheasant Plin. You can dine à la carte, or enjoy the restaurant’s tasting menu. There’s also a ‘social table’ for those who love food, wine and good company. The table is designed to seat a maximum of eight customers, who are invited to share whatever happens to come out of the kitchen. Magorabin also offers a chauffeured limousine service that will collect you and take you back to your hotel or directly to the airport.

If the restaurant’s booked out or you don’t have time for a full-course dinner, but would like to sample Trentini’s delights, remember that just a little further on, in the same street, the chef has opened Magorabin Alimentari, a bottega/bistro with an adjacent bakery where, throughout the day, you can purchase specialty products or stop and savour their bread, cocktails and a few dishes prepared by Magorabin’s chefs.

Piedmont food glossary

BAGNA CAUDA This typical winter specialty consists of a sauce made from garlic, extra virgin olive oil and anchovies, to which butter, milk and chopped nuts can also be added.

Bagna Cauda is served in a terracotta pot and used as a dip for raw or cooked seasonal vegetables. If, on the one hand, it encourages conviviality, on the other, especially if you’ve overdone the garlic, you might find people avoiding you because you reek of it!

PIEDMONTESE GRAN BOLLITO MISTO This elaborate dish of mixed boiled meats is made from seven cuts of Piedmontese veal, including the thigh muscle, shoulder and breast, and seven ‘improvers’, tongue, musetto (a pork sausage made in part from a pig’s snout) and a game hen, cooked for several hours in boiling water. It is accompanied by seven tasty sauces, and a side of vegetables. One of the favourite dishes of Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, and Vittorio Emanuele, Piedmont’s ‘bollito misto’ even has its own brotherhood.

Vitello Tonnato

Bagna Cauda

A Bain Marie, or hot water bath, is a slow, natural culinary technique that is used to cook delicate foods, over a low temperature, using the steam the Bain Marie creates. It preserves the softness of the dessert and facilitates the formation of a delicious crust on its surface.

VITELLO TONNATO This classic ‘antipasto’ of Piedmont cuisine is made from poaching the ‘girello’ cut of ‘Fassona’ veal (a prized Piemontese breed of veal) in a stock with aromatic herbs and white wine, sliced thinly and served cold with a traditional sauce made from tuna fish, egg yolks, capers, extra virgin olive oil, white wine, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Bagna Cauda

BONET Bonet, pronounced bunet, is a soft, rich, deliciously old-fashioned dessert that can be eaten with a spoon. Bonet is made from sugar, eggs, milk, cocoa, rum and dry amaretti biscuits. An unusual feature of this recipe is that it’s baked in a Bain Marie in the oven.

PIEDMONTESE MIXED FRY This uniquely rich local specialty of Piedmont consists of a combination of fried liver, lungs, brain, sweetbreads, liver veins, a slice of veal, sausage, sweet semolina, amaretti biscuits and apples, accompanied by pan-fried carrots or mixed vegetables. Not a dish for the faint-hearted.

AGNOLOTTI DEL PLIN These small filled ‘pouches’ are made with a thin sheet of dough, stuffed with a filling of braised meat (usually a mixture of beef, veal or pork) and Swiss chard, dressed with the pan juices of the braised meat, or butter and sage. The name ‘plin’ derives from the regional dialect for ‘pinch’ because to form each agnolotto you pinch the two sheets of pasta together.

From a gastronomic viewpoint, the region of Piedmont boasts some of Italy’s finest, most diverse traditional foods. It is therefore no surprise that the worldfamous ‘Slow Food’ association, an international, non-profit organization committed to giving food back its proper value, was born here. It is also here that the Italian University of Gastronomic Sciences, the first, and possibly only, ‘university of taste’ in the world, was established. The amazing raw materials offered by the Piedmontese region include meat, cheese, wine and truffles, and are the basic ingredients used to create deliciously rich, tasty recipes.

The world of coffee “A cup of coffee always marks the beginning of something”. In addition to summarizing the power of this black, aromatic, magical drink, this idea by Francesca, Antonella and Manuela Lavazza – fourth generation heirs of the Lavazza brand, a symbol of Italian coffee, also inspired the project for an innovative museum. Casa Lavazza is a voyage through five different themed galleries; the Factory teaches visitors everything about coffee production; the Piazza celebrates the Italian ‘rite of coffee’ with its symbols and ADVERTORIAL clichés, in a typical, 1960s-style Italian ‘piazza’; the Atelier, reminiscent of a photographic studio, features 60 years of the brand’s creative collaborations with images and installations and, finally, the Universe immerses visitors in a 360-degree multimedia screening that can be personalized with the use of a ‘smart cup’. It goes without saying that no visit to the Lavazza kingdom would be complete without sampling an energizing cup of coffee.

P

alazzo Carignano, built between 1679 and 1684 by Guarino Guarini at the request of Prince Emanuele Filiberto the Mute, is an impressive Baroque building, featuring a monumental, curvilinear terracotta façade that anticipates the layout of its interior spaces. The palace houses the base of a central elliptical tower in the ‘Salone delle Feste’, an ornate room decorated with stuccoes and frescoes, which was transformed into a parliamentary chamber where the Subalpine government met during the process of Italian Unification in 1848. The interior of the palace, headquarters of the National Museum of the Italian Risorgimento since 1938, has numerous historical treasures, including a highly specific library and archives.

The exhibition space, re-opened to the public in 2011, includes two original parliamentary chambers: the Chamber of the Subalpine Parliament (see photo), and the majestic salon designed to host the Chamber of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy, featuring vaults frescoed

by Francesco Gonin. Inside the museum, the period of the Risorgimento is narrated from a European viewpoint. In addition to a display of 2,579 original artifacts, the museum’s 30 plus rooms, decorated in different colours according to their specific themes, have been enhanced with films created with images from more than 194 European museums, which can be viewed on large screens.

The sheer size of the complex and collections housed therein easily rival those of other major European royal residences. A unique tour devoted to history, art and nature, comprising a 3km route of exhibition spaces and seven hectares of gardens.

ARMERIA REALE - More than 5,000 objects dating from the Prehistoric era to the 20th century, one of whose most important sections comprises an impressive collection of 16th century arms and amour.

BIBLIOTECA REALE – One of the city’s most important cultural institutions, it houses over 200,000 books, antique maps, engravings and drawings, including Leonardo da Vinci’s famous ‘Self Portrait’.

CAPPELLA DELLA SINDONE – Recently re-opened after a long and complex restoration, until the 1990s, the chapel, a Baroque masterpiece, housed the Sindone, now preserved in the Cathedral of Turin.

GALLERIA SABAUDA - Spread over four levels of exhibition space, the gallery showcases approximately 500 masterpieces

by Italian, Dutch, Flemish and European artists displayed in chronological order from the 14th to 20th centuries.

GIARDINI REALI - Extending over approximately seven hectares of land, and located in the centre of the city, these beautiful gardens testify to the city’s history and former opulent splendour. Due to ongoing renovations, today only a portion of the garden are open for public viewing.

MUSEO DI ANTICHITÀ - The most important archaeological finds unearthed in the city and throughout Piedmont are housed in the new underground space lying adjacent to the ruins of the Roman Theatre.

PALAZZO REALE - Majestic staircases, lavishly decorated rooms, carved ceilings, stuccoes, delicately gilded furniture and frescoes. An impressive feat of significant artistic and architectural value, and the official residence of the Savoy family until 1865, the Royal Palace was expanded and changed thanks to the work of several of Turin’s most illustrious architects and artists between the 18th and 19th centuries.

PALAZZO CHIABLESE - The rooms on the ground floor of Palazzo Chiablese, an 18th century building that, over the centuries, was used as a residence for members of the Savoy family, house the temporary exhibitions of the Royal Museums.

In 2014, in-depth restorations allowed all the buildings in the complex, the Royal Palace, the Armoury, the Royal Library, the Archaeological Museum, the Savoy Gallery, Palazzo Chiablese and, lastly, the Royal Gardens to be connected.

Visitors are now able enjoy a unique museum tour, comprising a 3km route spread over 30,000 sq.m. of exhibition space and 7 hectares of Royal Gardens.

The origins of the Royal Museums date back to 1563, when Duke Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy moved the capital from Chambéry to Turin. This marked the beginning of a major urban transformation and the enrichment of the dynastic collections, which now include artifacts dating from the prehistoric era to the present time. Between the 17th and 18th centuries, the appearance of the residence, with the imposing Royal Palace at its centre, was expanded and changed, thanks to the work of several of the era’s most illustrious architects. A Savoy Residence until 1865, the Royal Museums are now owned by the Italian government. On-site amenities include a food court in the former Regia Frutteria. www.museireali.beniculturali.it.

Officina della Scrittura by Livia Fioravanti

EDITOR’S TIP

Piazza San Carlo Also known as ‘the drawing room’ of the city, piazza San Carlo was commissioned by Marie Christine of France in true Parisian style. It is a rectangle of perfect proportions with an equestrian statue – the so-called ‘Caval’d Brons’ - of Duke Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy at its centre and on its southern side, facing the Porta Nuova Station, a twin pair of Baroque churches, San Carlo and Santa Christina.

The former was built in 1639 based on a project by architect Amedeo di Castellamonte, while building on the latter began in 1619 (its façade was designed

by Juvarra and dates back to 1715). Piazza San Carlo is flanked by seemingly endless elegant porticoes housing big-name fashion boutiques. The square is located in the middle of the partly pedestrianized arterial road of via Roma which, with its arcaded shops and cafés, connects the Station of Porta Nuova to piazza Castello. Piazza San Carlo is home to several of the city’s best-known cafés and pastry shops. Make sure to try the blends on offer at Caffè San Carlo, the pastries of Caffè Torino or the chocolates and candies of Stratta.

The Officina della Scrittura, located in the historic ‘pen district’, is the first museum in Europe dedicated to the art of writing. Founded in 2016 at the Aurora Factory, the oldest Italian manufacturers of fountain pens, the museum offers visitors a tour featuring a blend of tradition and technology.

Interactive screens and avant-garde writing instruments are interspersed with typewriters and fountain pens that tell the story of Turin’s important role in the information revolution.

Even if you’re not staying nearby, the Officina della Scrittura is located just 20 minutes by car, and one hour by bus, from the centre of town, and is well worth a visit. This is a unique experience that will appeal to both adults and children.

At the end of the tour, you’ll find an Aurora sales point,

a bookshop and a restaurant-cafeteria, which is only open for lunch and offers a small selection of tantalizing dishes at affordable prices.

Self-guided tours of the Officina della Scrittura take approximately one hour, while guided factory tours last for 45 minutes. Tours of the museum and factory are available in English for foreign visitors. www.officinadellascrittura.it Strada da Bertolla all’Abbadia di Stura, 200 (20 minutes from the city centre).

ESSENTIALS

Turin, the city of the Alps The first capital of Italy, is a ‘drawing room city’ of elegant porticoes surrounded by green hills and, further afield, by majestic mountains. This is Turin, a city renowned for its history, culture and natural beauties.

T

urin was a Roman colony, the first capital of Italy and an industrial city.

From its origins to the present time, Turin has had several different incarnations, each of which has left profound traces in its architecture and urban layout.

Extending over a surface area of less than 150 square kilometers, crossed by the Po, the longest river in Italy, Turin is characterized by a checkerboard-like grid of streets that makes getting your bearings easy.

One of the city’s most distinctive architectural features is its 18km of porticoes – mostly located in the city centre – which house shops and cafes. Its porticoes, originally designed to offer shade in the summer and shelter from the rain, snow, and sometimes the wind in winter, 44 W H E R E T U R I N I M A R C H 2019

and its elegant squares have given Turin the nickname of a ‘drawing room’ city.

With the exception of a few streets in the centre, which are off-limits to traffic (including the Quadrilatero Romano and its shopping streets), the remainder of the city is open to traffic and most landmark attractions are easily accessible by car. However, beware of access regulation ‘ZTL Centrale’, which is active Mon-Fri, 7.30am-10.30am and prohibits the circulation of private vehicles and parking in the centre of the city. This restriction does not, however, apply to taxis or chauffer driven hired cars. As an alternative, you can use public transport to get around the city. These include buses, trams and the subway (metropolitana).

The ‘metropolitana’, a fully automated subway

system, extends for 13.2km and only includes one line that connects the commune of Collegno to the Torino Porta Nuova railway station (the city’s main railway hub) and the Torino Porta Susa station, before reaching the Lingotto Fiere terminus.

Turin boasts an enviable geographic position.

It is surrounded by green hills that stand 715 metres above sea level, and which, in addition to their natural beauty, also offer numerous cultural and historical attractions.

They can be reached in just a few minutes by public transport, the Sassi-Superga tram or car. Turin is also an ideal base to reach several of Europe’s most renowned ski resorts.

It is therefore not surprising that the city is described as the ‘Capital of the Alps’.
