THE SOUNDTRACK
Choose between two Piedmontese artists, both amazing, both perfect for a Turinese home dinner or background music for your solo Vermouth moment. Spotify links!
Paolo Conte, by the way, his concert at Turin’s Venaria is worth a place of honor in your jazzy vynil collection! (here’s the Amazon affiliate link).
Giorgio Conte, Paolo’s brother, wrote one of my favorite songs on my Wine & Vynils playlist: Gnè Gnè.
If you like ska music, don’t miss the Statuto – named after one of the city’s main piazzas!

Italian Pride
The Turinese neurologist Rita Levi Montalcini won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1986.
A quote:

SHOPPING
When I won our family Fanta-Masterchef, I had no doubt what my prize would be: a tasting box born from the collaboration of a Turinese chocolatier and a Vermouth historic maker! You can order yours here!
The beautiful card that accompanied it represents the imaginary Gianduja tree, a hybrid of cocoa and hazelnut trees.
