A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what's happening in the world's greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Though Turin may be synonymous with Fiat, there's much more than the auto industry in this elegant, but little-visited city on the banks of the River Po. Stately palazzi line up along avenues offering glimpses of snow-capped Alps beyond. The city's art and antiquities collections - including the biggest Egyptian haul outside Cairo - are a reminder that Turin was once a splendid capital not only of the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont but also of Italy. And, of course, there's that shroud.

In 2006, Turin will host the winter Olympics: city fathers are preparing to wow a watching world with a burst of cutting-edge artistic and architectural initiatives.
