Turin Traveller Guide
Although TURIN 's traffic-choked streets are no longer calm, and its suburbs are as dreary as any in Italy, the city centre's gracious Baroque thoroughfares, opulent palaces, sumptuous churches and splendid collections of Egyptian antiquities and northern European paintings are still there - a pleasant surprise to those who might have been expecting satanic factories and little else. Turin is a very important city of the North of Italy. Its Baroque centre makes it made up of via Roma which is the central spine of the city, a grand affair lined with designer shops and ritzy cafÈs, although nowadays on the grubby side.
It is punctuated by the city's most elegant piazzas, most notably Piazza San Carlo , close to which are some of the most prestigious museums. Piazza Castello forms a fittingly grandiose, if hectic, conclusion to Via Roma, with its royal palaces awash in a sea of traffic.

"Do you know Turin?" asked Nietzsche. "It is a city after my own heart ? a princely residence of the seventeenth century, which has only one taste giving commands to everything, the court and its nobility. Aristocratic calm is preserved in everything; there are no nasty suburbs."
