    SUGGESTIONS for POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS to Get An

    SUGGESTIONS FOR POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS To get an introduction about the area near the conference: Why You Really Should Visit Italy's Outstanding Barolo Wine Region https://www.forbes.com/sites/catherinesabino/2018/10/28/why-you-really-should-visit-italys- outstanding-barolo-wine-region/#7bd3de632f89 Note that the Langa district is best visited by car. Because of its territory, the district is not accessible by train (except for Alba, which is connected to the railway system). However, driving in the Langa district should not be a problem since it is in the countryside and not in a big city. For reference, Bra and Alba have ~30,000 people each. Some of the villages referenced below are much smaller: Pollenzo (a subdivision of Bra) and Barolo have only ~700 people. Furthermore, besides the picturesque hills and the historic castles and buildings, this area is also about food and wine. So you can pair some of the suggestions below with the restaurant suggestions also available on the conference website. There are also several wine tours that are normally organized in the area and, besides the suggestions below, you can just search online for what suits your interest. 1) Tour of the Barolo Langa district: Barolo, La Morra, and Verduno Note: Requires a car. Also, distances are short and so one can break these itineraries into smaller ones as desired. Barolo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barolo,_Piedmont) is the town in the middle of the vineyards of nebbiolo grapes that produce the famous wine of the same name. It is a medieval village developed at the foot of the castle.

    GP Turin 2018 Travel Guide

    “Torino is not a place you can leave behind” - Friedrich Nietsche 1 A brief history Torino was founded as a roman settlement, under the name of Augusta Taurinorum (“Taurinus” means bull-like and that was the name given by the romans to the local ancient tribes, because of their height and strength). After having been mostly anonymous through the middle age, it became the capital of the Savoy dukedom in 1563, under duke Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy. The dukedom of Savoy became a kingdom in 1713, and starting from 1848 the Royal family and the government began, through wars and smart political alliances, the process of reunification of Italy (known now as Risorgimento - resurgence). This led Torino to become the first capital of Italy in 1861. During the 20th century the city become a center of excellence for the automotive industry, but after hosting the Winter Olympics in 2006, Torino is seeing its popularity rising again as a worthy touristic destination, thanks to its beautiful baroque city center, its vibrant cultural life and its wine and food traditions. Getting to the City Torino Airport: Torino is served by the Sandro Pertini international airport. Although small, the airport offers multiple daily connections to most of the big European hubs, including Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid, Amsterdam and Paris (be careful if you’re flying through London: there are connections to Gatwick and Stanstedt, not Heathrow). The airport is also served by low-cost company Ryanair, which offers connections to Barcelona, Bruxelles-Charleroi, London Stanstedt, Malta, Ibiza, Valencia and Dublin. The airport is connected to the city center by bus.

    October 14, 2015 Enrico Marone Cinzano’s Guide to Turin, Italy By Staff Writer Designer, Count, and all-around Renaissance man Enrico Marone Cinzano shares his picks for dining, shopping, and sightseeing in the historic capital of Piedmont. A talent for creating elegant, quality objects might as well be Italian designer Enrico Marone Cinzano’s blood right—his paternal great-great-grandfather founded Cinzano vermouth and his maternal great-great-grandfather established FIAT Automobiles. It’s hardly surprising then that the Torino-born, Massachusetts-educated businessman and creative would go on to launch a sustainable fashion label, Project Alabama, in 2001, and a self- titled, nature-inspired furniture and lighting collection 11 years later. With a true passion for his hometown, Marone Cinzano shares his must-dos in Turin, from where to find the most authentic dish to the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning. http://www.departures.com/travel/travel-guides/designer-enrico-marone-cinzano-favorite-things-to-do-in-turin-italy What neighborhood are you from, and how long did you live there? I lived on the hill of Superga, just underneath the cathedral (Basilica of Superga). It was designed by Filippo Juvarra and it is a beautiful, classic Baroque building that is typical of the region (Strada Basilica di Superga, 73; 39-011/899- 7456;basilicadisuperga.com). Where would you put up friends visiting town? The Golden Palace, the most luxurious hotel in town by far! It is a large structure built during the Fascist era and houses these incredible and intricate sculptures holding up the frontal canopy.

    FPT INDUSTRIAL CELEBRATES the GENIUS of LEONARDO DA VINCI for the 500TH ANNIVERSARY of HIS DEATH Turin, April 16, 2019 from Veni

    FPT INDUSTRIAL CELEBRATES THE GENIUS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI FOR THE 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH Turin, April 16, 2019 From Venice to Turin, FPT Industrial confirms its commitment to culture and announces its partnership as the main sponsor of the “Disegnare il futuro” (Drawing the future) and “L’uomo è modello del mondo” (Man is the model of the world) exhibitions. Both of these events will celebrate the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death and will illustrate how much his works and thinking have influenced science and art over the past five centuries. The "Disegnare il futuro" exhibition in Turin, Italy will be held from April 15th to July 14th, and the luxurious rooms of the Musei Reali will play host to the renowned Self Portrait as well as the Codex on the Flight of Birds, Nude studies for the Battle of Anghiari, and Studies of the front and back legs of a horse. The 13 drawings by da Vinci housed at the Royal Library of Turin, now part of the Musei Reali, were once owned by Giovanni Volpato, and later purchased by Charles Albert of Savoy in 1840. The works cover almost the entire lifespan of the genius, documenting da Vinci's activity from his youth through to adulthood. The Self Portrait, which comes out of the Royal Library of Turin’s vault for the 2019 celebrations, is considered to be the most famous work by the Florentine master. It dates back to 1515, a time when da Vinci was working for the court of Francis I in France, and portrays a much older man.
