Surprises await in Turin, Italy's first capital.
Long before Turin hosted the Olympics, it marked important Italian milestones. In 1563, it became the capital of the Duchy of Savoy. During the period of the Kingdom of Italy, from 1861 to 1865, Turino served as unified Italy's first capital city.
This "cradle of Italian liberty" hosted individuals who contributed to the Risorgimento, the Resurgence that unified the country, including statesman Camillo Paolo Filippo Giulio Benso, Count of Cavour, Isolabella and Leri.
Turin is also rich with cultural gems. Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neo-classical, and Art Nouveau architecture captivate during a casual stroll. The Mole Antonelliana is visible from various points around the city. The bell tower offers stunning views.
Visitors can picnic near the Palatine Gates and their magnificent towers. Stroll along Via Garibaldi or shopping on Via Roma ends with a Bicerin, an espresso drink. The layers of coffee, chocolate, and whipped cream might be Italy's best-kept coffee secret.
Taste these surprises and more with the color photos in Treasures of Turin: The First Italian Capital (a Travel Photo Art book).
