Retrace the steps of the grand statesman Count Cavour, one of the key figures in the building of the Italian nation. The walk starts at his birthplace, Palazzo Cavour, and passes by the Whist Club he founded. The journey through history continues with a visit to Palazzo Carignano and the Hall of Parliament, where Cavour held office as deputy, minister and prime minister. Across the square, we find Il Cambio, Cavour's preferred restaurant, and nearby, Café Fiorio, his favorite place for discussing politics. Our walk concludes with a stop at Palazzo Barolo, where Cavour would meet the Marquise Giulia di Barolo.

A comprehensive tour of famous and less known buildings that have left singular impressions on the city. Starting with a vestige from Roman times, we visit the Palatine Gate and then continue to the cathedral, with its unique Renaissance facade. Just around the corner stands the Royal Palace, its harmonious Baroque facade dominating the square before it. A leap in architectural history takes us to the Casa Fenoglio, a remarkable example of art nouveau residential construction. Our short course concludes with Lingotto, a stark complex of industrial architecture, and Italia '61.

This tour covers the places where famous Italian and foreign writers lived or described in their works: Piazza San Carlo and Vittorio Alfieri, Palazzo Barolo and Silvio Pellico, Corso Casale and Emilio Salgari, Piazza Carlo Alberto and Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Pensione Europa and Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert and Herman Melville.

If all art was once contemporary, then this tour puts us firmly in the present. We visit the outstanding collections in the GAM - the Civic Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, and in Rivoli Castle - the Museum of Contemporary Art. Outdoor art installations featured in this tour include the fountain by the young artist Enrica Borghi at the entrance to the Torino Incontra Conference Center, Luigi Stoisa's sculpture in front of Molinette Hospital, Corrado Levi's "piercing" in Piazzetta Corpus Domini, Gilberto Zorio's star in the lake of the Italia '61 grounds, and Mario Merz's number sequence installed on the cupola of the Mole Antonelliana building. Merz's piece is one of the many outdoor light installations (Luci d'Artista) set up throughout the city during the Christmas period.
