Turin was the first capital of Italy when Italy unified in year 1861.Turin is quite famous with attribution of Shroud of Turin. The city has a rich culture and history, and is known for its numerous art galleries, restaurants, churches, palaces, opera houses, squares, parks, gardens, theaters, libraries, museums and other venues.
Turin is one of most beautiful cities in my view. It's a business and cultural center in front of Susa valley and surrounded by Alpine arch. Also capital city of region Piedmont.
Most of the city's historic structure was built in 16th to 18th century, like squares, gardens and castles. Turin is sometimes called "the cradle of Italian liberty", for having been the birthplace and home of notable politicians and people who contributed to the "Risorgimento", such as Cavour. The city used to be a major European political center, being Italy's first capital city in 1861 and being home to the House of Savoy, Italy's royal family.
The city currently hosts some of Italy's best universities, colleges, academies, lycea and gymnasia, such as the six-century-old University of Turin and the Turin Polytechnic. Also prestigious and important museums, such as the Museo Egizio and the Mole Antonelliana are also found in the city. Turin's several monuments and sights make it one of the world's top 200 tourist destinations, and the tenth most visited city in Italy in 2008.
It is often referred to as the Capital of the Alps. Also the home of the Shroud of Turin, the football teams Juventus F.C. and Torino F.C., the headquarters of automobile manufacturers FIAT, Lancia and Alfa Romeo, Iveco and as host of the 2006 Winter Olympics and, in the same year, the 37th Chess Olympiad. Several International Space Station modules, such as Harmony and Columbus, were also manufactured in Turin.
Turin is calm city, on one hand you'll see cheerful night life but you'll also see mildness. Turin provides a good atmosphere for studies. You can live and study easily. Living costs are low outside city center. Apartments are available for rent. You can search them in your university advertising board or search on internet.
There are many study rooms, where you can study after your university lessons. There are also public libraries.
Food expenses are low, you can have a good meal from 5 - 10 euro in restaurants. There are restaurants where you can buy food with discounts. These restaurants are run by regional body EDISU in Piedmont.
Living in Turin could be adventurous if you are fond of cycling or trekking. You can go to near by cities for a weekend. You can do camping, do cycling or trekking. Turin is surrounded by beautiful mountains.
In Turin rains a lot and you'll never know when it's going to rain so always take umbrella with you. Banks you find everywhere so don't bother to keep cash. Cards are expected everywhere more than 85% of stores and restaurants. There are also some few supermarkets which are open 24h. Transport in Turin is very smooth, available from 4 am till 1 am mostly. There is also a metro line underground and the other line is under construction.
Overall Turin is a good city to live in and study.
