100 architetture e i molti itinerari che ne emergono: la prima, vera Guida dell'architettura contemporanea di Torino, la città che più di tutte ha realizzato in Italia una importante trasformazione urbanistica con nuove realizzazioni di qualità urbana e architettonica. Articolata per itinerari che si snodano dal centro storico all'area metropolitana, la guida e suoi percorsi offrono la possibilità di capire i nodi del cambiamento di Torino dentro la struttura urbana: dalle aree industriali dismesse, alle architetture destinate alla formazione e alla conoscenza, alla riqualificazione degli edifici barocchi e ottocenteschi. Una Torino contemporanea che si ridefinisce in un'ottica di città europea, che si mostra tra le città italiane come quella che ha intrapreso i maggiori cambiamenti sostenuta da importanti contributi di architetti come Renzo Piano e Massimiliano Fuksas. Dal Lingotto al Palazzo della Regione, dalla Stazione di Porta Susa alla Reggia di Venaria Reale, le schede informative ci descrivono, avvalendosi di un importante apparato fotografico, l'idea architettonica, l'inserimento nel contesto urbano, le scelte formali della Torino media metropoli europea.

Turin, a city nestled in the northwest of Italy, serves as a splendid blend of rich history, cultural significance, and modern innovation. As the capital of the Piedmont region, Turin stands out not just for its architectural grandeur but also for its pivotal role in shaping Italian and European history. This travel guide aims to offer a glimpse into the multifaceted character of Turin, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of its essence. The city of Turin, known as Torino in Italian, is often overshadowed by its more famous counterparts like Rome, Venice, and Florence. However, Turin possesses a unique charm that is woven into its urban fabric, from the majestic Alps that frame its skyline to the Po River that meanders through its heart. Turin’s elegance is evident in its tree-lined boulevards, stately squares, and the uniformity of its Baroque architecture. This city has been a crucible for innovation and culture, earning it the nickname "the cradle of Italian liberty." Turin's significance is rooted in its historical contributions. It was the first capital of a unified Italy, a role it embraced with vigor, laying down the political and cultural foundations for the nation. Its historical narrative is enriched by the presence of the House of Savoy, whose influence is still palpable in the city's royal palaces and museums. Turin's streets and buildings are living monuments that tell stories of a city that has witnessed the ebb and flow of empires, wars, and revolutions. Culturally, Turin is a powerhouse. It boasts a vibrant arts scene, from the renowned Egyptian Museum, which houses one of the largest collections of Egyptian antiquities outside of Cairo, to the Mole Antonelliana, an iconic symbol of the city and home to the National Museum of Cinema. The city's theaters, galleries, and music venues continually buzz with activity, showcasing both classical and contemporary talents. Moreover, Turin is synonymous with industrial prowess, being the birthplace of the Fiat automobile company. This industrial heritage has transformed Turin into a hub of manufacturing and design, contributing significantly to Italy's economic growth. The city has also embraced technological advancements, fostering innovation through numerous research centers and universities. In gastronomy, Turin excels with its rich culinary traditions. The city is the capital of the Piedmont region, famous for its wines, chocolates, and truffles. Turin's cafés and restaurants offer a delectable array of local specialties, from the robust flavors of Bagna Cauda to the delicate sweetness of Gianduiotto chocolates. The Slow Food movement, which started in nearby Bra, has further cemented Turin's status as a culinary destination. Turin’s spirit is also reflected in its sporting culture. It is home to Juventus, one of the most successful football clubs in the world. The city's passion for sports extends to winter activities, thanks to its proximity to the Alps, which hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics. Turin is a city of contrasts and continuity, where ancient traditions coexist with modern advancements. Its legacy as a historical, cultural, and industrial center continues to shape its identity today. This travel guide merely scratches the surface of what Turin has to offer, inviting you to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of this extraordinary Italian city.

Turin, the regional capital of Piedmont, is reputed to be a magical city. And it can only be by magic that a city, considered the capital of Italian heavy industry (FIAT, one of the biggest automobile producers in the world, is based here), is also one of Italy's main tourist attractions. Of course, there are good reasons for this. The Holy Shroud, the old linen winding-sheet in which, according to tradition, the body of Christ was after the crucifixion, is kept in Turin's cathedral. There is also the Egyptian Museum at Turin, which contains an extraordinary collection of art from Ancient Egypt, and the Sabauda Gallery, full of masterpieces by great European artists. Finally, at Turin, there are some tremendous, monumental testimonies of the vital role played by Piedmont in modern Italian history, as the seat of the House of Savoy (the reigning dynasty of Italy until 1946) and the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy: The Royal Palace, Palazzo Madama, the Mole Antonelliana, and the Royal Villa at Stupinigi. The natural landscape is splendid and varied: mountains, valleys, hills (the Langhe are famous as the setting for many stories by Cesare Pavese and Beppe Fenoglio, favorite writers from Piedmont), lakes (Maggiore, with Stresa, d'Orta, di Viverone), and the Valgrande National Park. This booklet guides Turin for a visit lasting two, three, or more days; extensive descriptions and photos of museums, churches, nightlife, and other attractions. In addition, it contains reviews of places where to eat. It has sections covering single or half days, so you can combine several areas depending on the length of your stay and your preference of what o see.

The mobility of women is a central issue in feminist analysis of literary works and historical periods. Rewriting the Journey in Contemporary Italian Literature explores the concept of the journey from feminist, psychoanalytic, and postcolonial perspectives, in order to offer an alternative understanding of "moving." Cinzia Sartini Blum examines the new literature of migration in Italian and journeys in the works of Biancamaria Frabotta, Dacia Maraini, Toni Maraini, and Maria Pace Ottieri, to demonstrate that women writers and migrant authors in contemporary Italy present journeys as events that are beyond heroic modern exploration and postmodern fragmentation. Using the mythical figure of Gradiva, Blum shows how contemporary Italian women writers have reinvented Gradiva to reveal subjectivities that challenge and overcome the postmodern melancholia and nihilism prevalent in contemporary male writers and thinkers. She also considers the connection between metaphorical and literal mobility, the role of the intellectual as cultural intermediary, the roles of women in cultural encounters within mass migrations, and how migrancy is a way of being in the postcolonial world. An impeccable piece of original scholarship, Rewriting the Journey in Contemporary Italian Literature will be of interest to feminist, literary, and postcolonial scholars.
