  • 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.

  • Enrico Marone Cinzano's Guide to Turin, Italy
    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.

  • Predicting Energy-Based Acoustic Parameters in Churches: an Attempt to Generalize the Μµµ-Model
    Acústica 2008 20 - 22 October, Coimbra, Portugal Universidade de Coimbra PREDICTING ENERGY-BASED ACOUSTIC PARAMETERS IN CHURCHES: AN ATTEMPT TO GENERALIZE THE µµµ-MODEL U. Berardi, E. Cirillo, and F. Martellotta DAU – Politecnico di Bari, via Orabona 4, 70125 Bari, Italy [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The paper describes the application of an energy model, already tested on Spanish churches, to a different and larger group. Its simplicity allows fast prediction of every energy parameter, provided that its corrective parameter µ is known. The results of an acoustic survey carried out in more than thirty Italian churches are used in order to try to generalize the model. Different values of the µ- parameter are calculated by means of a semiempirical prediction of clarity. The study investigates in greater detail how the acoustic energy varies inside the churches. In fact, chapels, columns, trussed roofs or vaults scatter the reflections, resulting in weaker early reflections as the complexity of the church grows. The reduction observed is greater in large Italian churches than in small Mudejar- Gothic churches in Seville, showing the need to classify different values of the µ-parameter. Predicted values of some energy parameters calculated according to µ values show good agreement with experimental data. The proposed classification suggests a wider use of the model for churches of different typologies. Keywords: Room acoustics, Acoustics of churches, Energy propagation, Energy prediction. 1 Introduction The study of the sound field in places of worship, in any country, has recently aroused great interest within the general field of architectural acoustics.
