Elegant, mannered, extremely beautiful.
Turin is, as they say, a city with good manners. And also, Turin is one of the cities of Italy, where the old one is so harmoniously mixed with the new tradition with innovation. It seems to many that Turin is such a calm town that calls tourists with its old towers, fasteners and palaces, and, in general, everything. But this, of course, not so. Turin is in constant development in all areas, including in the art, world of theater, music and fashion. Walk through the streets of the city will leave an unforgettable impression, no less than a walk in Paris or Rome, say. So, walk, walk on foot, learn!
And doubly more pleasant to walk through the streets of Turin, looking at the shops in the paths. Although why "shops".
