A city in northwestern Italy, capital of the Piedmont region. Known for its baroque architecture, automotive industry, and as a former capital of Italy.
From Latin 'Augusta Taurinorum,' named after the Celtic Taurini tribe who inhabited the area. The name evolved through various forms, ultimately becoming Turin in English and Torino in modern Italian.
Turin holds the mysterious Shroud of Turin, perhaps history's most studied piece of cloth, while also being home to Fiat and the birthplace of Italian cinema. This unique combination of ancient mysticism and modern industry makes it a perfect symbol of Italy's ability to blend the sacred and the industrial.
