Turin: the first capital of Italy

Turin, with my personal Touch!

Hello, my friends!! Welcome in My Own Italy!
Today I'd like to introduce you to Turin, the first capital of Italy.

The Italian capital of the Automobile Industry: FIAT 500

I think you can travels with me through a land of extraordinary fascination, between art and history, nature and culture, sport and tradition.




Turin is also the Italian capital of the automobile industry, Fiat (Fiat SpA): one of the world's largest and famous companies in the world!

A trip through the History of Automotive

Located in the city, near the historical center, you can visit The National Automotive Museum.

The exhibition tells the story and the evolution of the motor car, as well as the social themes linked to it.


 

Its transformation from a means of transport to an object of worship, from its origins right up to the contemporary evolution of creative thought, and all this is done with spectacular displays showing off the valuable pieces in the collection.

This is me in the Sixties: the advent of utilitarian cars!

You can visit nineteen rooms telling the story of the twentieth century, taking in Futurism, the First World War, the advent of the utilitarian car, the Italian school of body work, the discovery of aerodynamics, female emancipation, the race towards mass production, the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Also, you can enjoy the American advertising slogans, examples of consumerism and ecology.!

American Advertising Slogans!

It’s a story with many different threads, the guiding principle being to make us understand how far the motor car influenced, conditioned and favoured the most distinctive historical, economic, artistic and social events of the last century.

At last, you are driven into the world of design: the creative path that precedes the production of a motor cars.

Ground Floor: The Morphing Era

Design identifies an era because it is an expression of the culture prevailing during that era.

When you finish your visit, you can admire The Piazza.

My sons and I in The Piazza, National Automotive Museum in Turin

The Piazza is an internal, covered courtyard at the centre of the Museum - the result of a transformation carried out by the architect Cino Zucchi in the complex restoration-work on the building.

This is the beating heart of the Museum and is a place for meetings and cultural exchanges!
