Turin

The Chocolate Capital of Italy

Unlike other Italian cities, Turin modestly stands aside: there are no fashion weeks here, no warm sea, and it wasn't the setting for "Roman Holiday". Many still associate the "northern capital" of Italy exclusively with winter sports. And very few know that Turin is called the "Italian Paris" and the most mystical city in Italy, and Christians from all over the world come here to see the greatest relic. We invite you to get closer acquainted with the former capital of the Duchy of Savoy.
