london1967I have taken today and Monday off work and am going to spend the week-end in Turin at my parents'.
The "A Civilize Traveller's Guide To Turin" says
Nestled between the Alps and the Po River, Turin was hailed by Le Corbusier as the most beautifully situated city he'd ever seen, and by Giorgio de Chirico as the “most profound, most enigmatic, most disquieting city not only of Italy, but of the world.”
Today Turin, an elegant city of more than a million people, with views of the Alps around every corner, is home to Italy's most vibrant contemporary art scene, as well as extraordinary architecture, sophisticated shops, and food and wine that are an epicurean's dream.
Turin's cultural attractions.... from the one-of-a-kind Museum of Cinema to the world-renowned Museo Egizio, which holds the most significant collection of Egyptian artifacts outside of Cairo.
It sounds exciting, doesn't it? Are we really talking about the same city? LOL!
Maybe I'll manage to 'escape' parents for a few hours and enjoy a trip down memory lane!
