I live in Turin, in the north of Italy. The city is the state capital of Piedmont, a region whose which name means "at the foot of the mountain". In fact, whether when the sky is clear and there is no fog, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the mountains from the town. An amazing panorama is also offered to you by the hill placed located on the opposite side of the city, a good location for taking a walk, immersing yourself into the greenery and finally admiring an upper view of the downtown. As compared to other Italian touristic Italian cities like Rome, Florence and Milan, Turin is less crowded and could be an appealing destination to people looking for cultural holidays without renouncing to missing out on an intimate atmosphere. There are a lot of great historical places, parks and museums, as well as a suggestive ? spectacular riverside and a renowned local cuisine. One the most typical foods is Bicerin, an hot drink made of espresso, dark chocolate, and milk cream, indeed a good solution to recovering your energy after a long day's sightseeing.
