The city of Turin boasts a boundless love for everything that revolves around the world of cinema. The very first screening of a film took place right here, in Turin, in the now distant 1869. From that year on, the city was a real trailblazer in the field of cinematography. Suffice it to say that shortly thereafter the first multiplex in Italy was inaugurated in Turin: the Elysée (1983). Even today, the interest in cinema is daily bread for the citizens of Turin. Suffice it to say that one of the most visited museums in the city remains the famous Turin Cinema Museum, located under the iconic Mole Antonelliana, the undisputed symbol of the city. The Museum, today one of the most famous and at the same time particular regarding the field of filmography, owes its fame also to the particularity of its positive layout. Anyone who enters it finds themselves having to follow a spiral path upwards, almost 'touching' the Mole Antonelliana itself.

Turin is universally known as the Italian city of chocolate. The history that binds Turin to chocolate is long and owes its origins to Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia who in 1560 decided to celebrate the transfer of the ducal capital from Chambéry to Turin by 'offering' the city a good cup of hot chocolate! But it was in 1865 that the fame of chocolate in Turin reached its peak with the creation of the famous Gianduiotto, still sold all over the world! The fame of made in Italy chocolate in the city did not stop here but continued a few years later with the creation of the Cremino and the Boero, two other chocolates still today the undisputed symbol of the city! Precisely because of its importance in the history of the birth of chocolate in Italy, the historic center of the Piedmontese capital boasts some of the oldest chocolate shops in Italy .... if you are visiting the city it is unthinkable not to spend time tasting some of the most delicious specialties of the Turin master chocolatiers!
