Torino : Getting to Know You One Day Whirlwind or Day 1/3
Torino : Getting to Know You One Day Whirlwind or Day 1/3
Ashlinn Romagnoli
This series comprises my curated list of recommendations for visitors to Torino who are only here for a single day and want to see the as much of the highlights of the city as possible rather than spend time actually inside the museums or historic sights. I also recommend this as the first day of a more comprehensive three day itinerary.

Chiesa Parrocchiale della Gran Madre di Dio

A very impressive sight, in my mind you start here and cross the river into Piazza Vittorio Veneto for a cappuccino in a classic Torinese piazza.

Piazza Vittorio Veneto

You can’t go wrong with a morning cappuccino and cornetto. The arcades exiting the piazza are also full of beautiful little shops and my favorite— used book vendors!

Via Garibaldi
@utopiaitalia
This is the main shopping street of Torino, but the shops are kinda meh. It’s a major artery to walk through the center, though, and has wonderful architecture.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ashlinn Romagnoli
I created Utopia Italia to document my experiences moving to Italy with almost zero preparation or expectation.
A couple of enthusiastic explorers, my husband and I love diving into new places and meeting new people. We are particularly passionate about fostering community and take great pleasure in ensuring our friends feel cared for and well fed. Sharing with a broader audience felt like a natural next step, and thatch is a far sight better than the google docs we used to share around for visiting friends!
The project began as essays and podcasts called Utopia: An Italian Study that you can sign up for (for free!) at utopiaitalia.substack.com.
You can also check out the Instagram @utopiaitalia for photos and updates: this is the nexus for the entire Utopia Italia project!
