The place in Torino that inspires you most?
The route that goes up from the Roman excavation next to the Santuario della Consolata to the medieval Romanesque steeple in front of the home of my maternal grandparents at Piazza della Consolata 5, places of my early childhood.

My work La favola della favola which imagines the day and place, Borgo San Paolo, of my birth.

As an adult, the Savona restaurant on Piazza Vittorio at the corner of Via Po; and as a youth, Le Tre Galline, near Piazza della Consolata.
The excellent thing about Torino you would not want to do without?
