Turin July 2022
I am Andrea Jarach, editor of the Welcome Magazines,
periodicals that we have been publishing for 12 years for
international visitors in some of the most important cities for
tourism in Italy.
Since last April we have added Verona to the traditional editions
of Venice, Florence, Turin and expand our Milan magazine to
the Lombardy region.
Welcome Magazine is here to accompany visitors in their
discovery of Italy’s attractions. As you can see in the following
pages, the Welcome Magazine offers useful information about
events, shopping, food and wine, everything that can interest
the visitor answering the question: “what can I do, what can I
discover during my stay?”.
Our aim is to create memorable experiences of the visit, also by
linking together the different opportunities offered by the area.
Our mission is to provide essential tourist information for
the benefit of visitors who choose wonderful Italy as their
destination.
You will find the Welcome Magazines in the approximately
500 hotels belonging to the Welcome Magazine circuit in
Italy.
You can therefore use the traditional paper editions, but don’t
miss the chance to browse through the pages of the digital and
interactive editions also on your computers and smartphones.
As always, you will also be able to access tourist information
through our website www.welcomemagazine.it, which is
always up-to-date and full of ideas for your trip. Welcome to Italy,
discover and enjoy!

WELCOME | PANORAMA

− Located inside the Park of La Mandria, in the historic centre


of the town of Venaria, the Reggia di Venaria Reale is a Baroque-
style complex built in the mid-17th century as a glorified hunting
lodge for Carlo Emanuele II.

− This grandiose estate lying on the outskirts of Turin comprises


80,000 square metres of buildings which combine to make
up the Reggia and 60 hectares of Gardens, a masterpiece of
architecture and landscaping, included in the UNESCO World
Heritage list in 1997.

− This monumental building boasts several of the highest


expressions of universal Baroque: the enchanting Hall of Diana
designed by Amedeo di Castellamonte, the breathtaking Great
Gallery and the solemn Chapel of Saint Hubert, the grandiose
complex of the Juvarra Stables, designed by Filippo Juvarra
in the 18th century, ornate decorations and the spectacular
Fountain of the Stag in the Court of Honour. These provide a
unique setting for the Theatre of History and Magnificence, the
permanent display devoted to the House of Savoy, that runs from
the basement level to the piano nobile of the Reggia.

− Inside the Reggia di Venaria Reale, a part of the circuit of


the Royal Residences of Turin and Piedmont, multimedia
installations enable visitors to reconstruct the history of court life,
while the apartments of King Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy and
his wife Rosa Vercellana, remodelled in the adjacent Castello della
Mandria, are open for public viewing, as is the room hosting the
collection of royal jewels.

− On the last floor of the palace, above the monumental


corridor known as the Galleria di Diana, discerning diners can
enjoy a delightful meal at the Dolce Stil Novo alla Reggia, the
Reggia’s Michelin-starred restaurant.

WELCOME | LANDMARK

− Have you heard of Jean-François Champollion? A French


archaeologist and Egyptologist and the director of the Egyptian
sector of the Louvre in Paris, he is the man who deciphered the
mystery of hieroglyphics through the Rosetta Stone in 1822.
It is also thanks to Champollion’s expertise that we owe the defining
statement: “The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through
Turin.”

− This unique and extraordinary Egyptian Museum, the world’s


first Egyptian museum founded in 1824, is the second in terms of
the value and number of artifacts (around 40,000) outside of Cairo
and the eighth most widely visited museum in Italy. It’s so well-known
that in a classification drawn up by TripAdvisor, it was ranked number
one among Italy’s most popular museums, ninth in Europe and
fourteenth in the world. The British newspaper The Times listed it as
one of the 50 best museums on the planet.

− Despite its longstanding history and historic headquarters – the


imposing Palazzo dell’Accademia delle Scienze, dating back to the
17th century – the museum is extremely modern in terms of both its
layout and immersive visitor experience.

− Remodelled by Oscar-winning set designer Dante Ferretti,


in 2015 the exhibition space was doubled, following massive
renovations, and is now spread over four levels, three above ground
and one below ground, organized in chronological order.

− Here you’ll find mummies, tombs, papyrus sheets and everything


related to ancient Egypt (included embalmed animals) from the
Paleolithic to the Coptic era.

− If you’re so overwhelmed that you don’t know where to begin


your tour, get an audio guide. A tip? The Restoration Area on the first
floor that allows visitors to watch animal mummies being restored.

GALLERIE D’ITALIA-TORINO
AT THE HEART OF PHOTOGRAPHY
NEW EXHIBITION SITE Intesa Sanpaolo has recently inaugurated
the “Gallerie d'Italia-Torino”, the Group’s fourth museum (after
Milan, Naples, and Vicenza): ten thousand square metres of
exhibition space on five floors, three of which underground,
dedicated to photography and Baroque art in Piazza San
Carlo in Palazzo Turinetti. The museum is home to the Intesa
Sanpaolo Publifoto Archive - with about 7 million shots

photojournalism agencies - and the pictorial cycle of the ancient
Oratory of the Compagnia di San Paolo. The architectural project
by Michele De Lucchi-AMDL Circle has transformed the spaces
of the historic building into a unique place where photography
and video art will document and preserve images, events, and
reflections to promote the themes related to the evolution of
sustainability. Two exhibitions inaugurated this new opening.
Open until 4 September. Full ticket: 10€ Open on Tues,Thurs, Fri,
Sat and Sun 9.30am-7.30pm; Wed 9.30am-10.30pm. Closed on Mon.

Publifoto Intesa Sanpaolo” (From War to the Moon. 1945-1969.
Glances from the Publifoto Archive) features a selection of historical
images documenting the economic miracle up to the greatest
conquest of modern man, the moon landing. The exhibition consists
of previously unseen images, often presented in the form of
installations, which transform the space of the Gallerie d'Italia in
Turin into a place of appearances, and not simply an exhibition.

>> “La fragile meraviglia. Un viaggio nella natura che cambia”


(The fragile wonder. A journey through changing nature) by Paolo
Pellegrin, is a photographic reportage dedicated to the theme
of climate change. A project that engaged the photographer for
over a year, and which saw him move around different parts of the
world. Pellegrin therefore moved by immersing himself in nature,
identifying as a primary and constant characteristic that “fragile
wonder” that gives the title to the exhibition and the entire project.

NEW IDENTITY
FOR THE PINACOTECA AGNELLI
RESTYLING The new Pinacoteca Agnelli is ready to become
a dynamic cultural centre, open to the multidisciplinary
languages of the present in dialogue with the historic
Pinacoteca collection. It is now a place dedicated to the
production of and site-specific projects commissioned from
Italian and international artists.
>> PISTA 500. The new Pinacoteca programme also extends
to the Lingotto’s iconic rooftop track. The outdoor space is
enriched with installations by international artists designed
to dialogue with the industrial architecture, the spectacular
landscape over the city and the garden recently created on
the runway. Thanks to FIAT’s conversion project, the Pista 500 is
now the highest rooftop park in Europe with its 40,000 plants
of over 300 different native species: a green lung 28 metres
high which, in keeping with its original identity as a circuit
historically dedicated to car testing, is now also an attractive
test drive for the New 500, FIAT’s first all-electric car.

BETWEEN ECOLOGY ADMISSION
AND ARTE POVERA
COLLECTIVE EXHIBITION In the 1960s, the Arte Povera artists
(many of them from Turin) investigated reality and channelled
the invisible energy flowing through the world into their works.
They used elementary techniques and common materials
to overcome the separation between nature and artifice,
anticipating contemporary ecology with their work. Sceptical
about the acceleration of economic development, they were
aware of the need for a new environmental balance. They were
vital, optimistic, pacifist and anarchist, and they transformed the
very definition of art through the free crossover of painting,
sculpture, performance, film and photography into the more
open notion of the public-accessible installation. The exhibition
will feature works by Giovanni Anselmo, Pier Paolo Calzolari,
Piero Gilardi, Amar Kanwar, Jannis Kounellis, Agnieszka Kurant,
Richard Long, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giuseppe Penone,
Michelangelo Pistoletto and Gilberto Zorio.

EXHIBITION The Bristol-based artist has conquered Turin with
the exhibition at the Sala degli Stemmi in the Torino Porta Nuova
Station, the “gateway” to the city par excellence that welcomes
thousands of visitors and travellers every day. The "World of Banksy"
immersive exhibition features more than 30 new works never
exhibited before, including “Flower Thrower”, “Steve Jobs”, “Girl
With Baloon” and “Waiting In Vain”, in addition to works and murals
created by anonymous young artists from all over Europe. In total,
more than 130 works are on display, revealing the world of the
mysterious British artist, who is famous for tackling political and
social issues with irony. This is the second stop in Italy - after Milan
and before Verona - of a long journey for Banksy, who is going
from station to station across Europe and beyond (Paris, Barcelona,
Prague, Brussels and Dubai). The aim is to convey his message
through his works, which offer both a touch of art and food for
thought.

FOCUS ON FOREIGN ART
ART An exhibition at GAM in Turin presents 33 major artists
from the international scene through 56 works, many of which
have not had the opportunity to be shown to the public in recent
years. This exhibition is part of a process of internationalisation
of the museum, which began many years ago: in addition to
works by European and American artists, many works now come
from different cultures and languages, from China to Cuba to
Africa. The artists selected for this exhibition belong to different
generations, from the 1930s (Georg Baselitz) to the generation
born in the 1970s (Kcho, Hannah Starkey, Laurent Grasso).

WONDERS FROM ANTIQUITY
MUSEUM Last month, a new area dedicated to the civilisations
of the ancient Mediterranean has been opened on the ground
floor of the Manica Nuova of the Royal Museums, housing
artefacts of rare beauty and inestimable historical value. The
Royal Museums today preserve a cultural heritage that ranges
from prehistory to modernity, looking at the history of the
civilisations of Europe and the world. More than a thousand
works, some of which have never been exhibited before, cover
over 400 years of history thanks to the collections of the House
of Savoy and the discoveries of explorers and entrepreneurs.
In 10 rooms, divided into 5 sections, are exhibited finds from
Mesopotamia, Greek and Roman statues, Greek pottery,
Etruscan and Phoenician funerary elements. Among the iconic
objects selected by the curators is the sculptural portrait
of Caesar, considered by experts to be one of the closest
resemblances to the leader.

4-6 November 2022 | opening for the public
The twenty-ninth edition of Artissima
will feature specific initiatives, confirming its uniqueness on
the European cultural scene, and its ability to attract galleries,
artists, collectors and curators among the most interesting at
the international level, while maintaining its strong identity as an
experimental and research fair.
The theme chosen for this year’s edition is “Transformative
Experience”, a concept elaborated by the American philosopher
L. A. Paul in 2014, according to which a transformative experience
is capable of radically changing the person who experiences it,
undermining his or her expectations and opening up a perspective
towards the unknown. The encounter with art carries within it a
transformative potential whose value is unique and irreplaceable
and leads towards an unknown but desired future, capable of
changing people and providing new tools for reading the world.
This edition will see the return of the three sections: Present
Future, Back to the Future, and Drawings, which will also continue
to live online with in-depth videos, images, interviews and podcasts.

Put yourself in my shoes


In 2012, a year before founding Velasca, Enrico Casati
worked in Singapore. He wanted a pair of elegant shoes,
the kind that, like a well-cut suit, Italian men take for
granted, but he couldn’t find what he was looking for.
He teamed up with Jacopo Sebastio, his current
business partner and, together, they established a new
company with a clear mission. Their goal was twofold:
to create elegant, timeless shoes for people who
prefer elegance to passing fads, and to make Italian
quality more accessible to those living in foreign
countries. The company opened its first venue in Milan,
the owners’ city of origin, and later another one in
Rome. At the end of 2017, Velasca opened a third
branch in Turin. However, its mission has not changed.
Unsurprisingly, the Velasca Bottega in Turin is located
just steps from Piazza Bodoni, in an elegant, stylish
district hosting print shops, art galleries and Baroque
palaces. A ‘salotto’ where people can discuss the merits
of Made in Italy while trying on lace-up shoes, boots,
Oxford or formal shoes.

the way to Porta Nuova Station and offers a 750-metre-
long covered walkway with a sequence of some of
the biggest names in fashion, including Gucci, Hermès,
Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Salvatore Ferragamo and

of retro style.

STREET MARKETS
Every neighbourhood and district in Turin has its own
characteristic markets full of things to see and, why not,

Turin is a city of mystery, magic and legend. Its ‘magical’
significance is attributed to its geographical position, along

arcane practices where you can purchase books, incense,
tarot cards, candles, plus anything else associated with the
occult world.

ARETHUSA
At Italy’s oldest occult bookshop, established in 1948, you
can find a comprehensive selection of publications, books,
magazines or series dedicated to spiritual, hermetic or esoteric
subjects. Arethusa also stocks a wide range of tarot cards,

Piedmontese sushi
Who says that the word sushi only means fish? Located
in the city’s central via Mazzini, Sushi dal Maslè debunks
this myth, and serves Japanese inspired dishes using
premium cuts of raw meat.
The restaurant’s name – in Piedmontese dialect maslè
means butcher – indicates that local, traditional
ingredients are used, and Piedmontese Fassona beef
plays a key role. Minced Fassona beef or Brà sausage,
combined with Nori seaweed and traditional Japanese
sauces give birth to tasty ‘Piémont Sushi®’, interpreted
in Uramaki, Temaki and rolls, but also Tartare, Sashimi
and hot dishes seared on the grill.
Standouts include ‘Bombetta Piemontese’ with Albese

FOOD GLOSSARY
From a gastronomic viewpoint, the region of Piedmont
boasts some of Italy’s finest, most diverse traditional foods.
The amazing raw materials offered by the Piedmontese
region include meat, cheese, wine and truffles, and are
the basic ingredients used to create deliciously rich, tasty
recipes. We’ve compiled a list of several Made in Piedmont
dishes that are absolute must-tastes.

BAGNA CAUDA
This typical winter specialty consists of a sauce made from
garlic, extra virgin olive oil and anchovies, to which butter, milk
and chopped nuts can also be added. Bagna Cauda is served
in a terracotta pot and used as a dip for raw or cooked seasonal
vegetables. If, on the one hand, it encourages conviviality, on
the other, especially if you’ve overdone the garlic, you might
find people avoiding you because you reek of it! © TENNIS/SHUTTERSTOCK.COM

WHERE NUTELLA WAS BORN


Everyone knows Nutella – the world’s best-loved chocolate
spread - but not everyone knows that it was invented in Alba in
the Piedmont region. Because chocolate was rationed after the
end of World War II, a pastry chef from Alba named Pietro Ferrero
had the ingenious idea of creating a sweet paste made with
hazelnuts (which were plentiful in the region), sugar and the little
chocolate powder that was available. Ferrero’s creation began
life as a solid block called pasta gianduja, which could be sliced
and served on bread. A few years
later, it was transformed into a
creamy, spreadable treat called
SuperCrema, the forerunner of
our Nutella. It was only in 1963 that
Michele Ferrero, Pietro’s son, coined
the word Nutella (a combination of
the English word ‘nut’ and the Latina
suffix for sweet - ‘ella’).
