Beautiful Torino. Romantic Torino. Swingin's Torino.
It gave birt to Ernesto Bonino, one of the most important performer of italian swing in the 1940s.
It'ss also the town where Carlo Prato, member of the Eiar (The First Italian Radio Auditions Center) brought
to success the Trio Lescano, another milestone in our Swingin'sItaly of those days.
And hometown of the unforgettable Fred Buscaglione,
a real icon of the Old Times.
The golden age of Turin was between the second half
of the 1800s and the beginning of the last century. Wandering around this town is like going back in time: squares, cloisters, historical buildings, the wonderful river waterfront and the greenest parks you'sll ever see, bring you back to the royal Savoy era, and all that is modern, suddenly sounds off-key.
Magnificent during the day, lively and charming by night.
Take a seat at one of the countless historical cafes to enjoy the real vintage soul of this town, also by tasting an exquisite specialty of our maîtres chocolatier, or simply by sipping an Americano (a cocktail made by Martini and Campari, both coming from here!).
In this magic scenery, in the heart of the old town center, a 4-4 heart is beating.
It'ss the heart of the Torino Swing Festival.
