About Turin
Turin is the capital of Piedmont in northwestern Italy, a city of about 847,000 in the city proper and roughly 1.7 million in the metro, sitting at the foot of the Alps near the French border. It was the first capital of unified Italy and remains the historical headquarters of Fiat (now Stellantis) making it the country's traditional automotive center, alongside Lavazza coffee and a growing aerospace and design economy. Costs run well below Milan for comparable housing in a similarly sized northern Italian city. Climate is humid subtropical with cold winters and hot summers, with Alpine ski access within an hour. Italian is essentially universal, English workable in professional contexts. Relocators get a more livable and less tourist-saturated northern Italian option than Milan.
