Where is the Convention

 

 

Torino

Turin

Turin is a city that combines architectural elegance, historical depth and cultural vivacity.

The first capital of the Kingdom of Italy, it has retained the rigor and majesty of its Savoy past, visible in the orderly urban structure, in the porticoes that cross the historic center and in the large monumental complexes such as the Reggia di Venaria and the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi.

The city is symbolically represented by the Mole Antonelliana, now home to the National Cinema Museum, and hosts cultural institutions of international importance, including the Egyptian Museum, among the most important of its kind in the world, and the Automobile Museum, evidence of the central role of Turin in Italian industrial development.

The urban fabric is enriched by large green areas, including the Parco del Valentino, located along the banks of the Po river. Designed in the nineteenth century, the park includes natural spaces, historic gardens and interesting architecture such as the Castello del Valentino and the Borgo Medievale.

Turin today presents itself as a dynamic and welcoming city, capable of valorising its historical and artistic heritage in dialogue with the challenges of contemporaneity.
