Turin
Turin is Italy's most undervalued large city a baroque Savoy capital of 850,000 with vast, colonnaded piazzas, the world's second most important Egyptian museum, the shroud of Turin, and the Alps visible on the horizon. It is also the birthplace of the aperitivo (Campari was formulated here) and vermouth (Martini, Cinzano, and Carpano all originated in Turin) meaning the evening ritual of a Negroni or Americano with generous snacks is practiced with more seriousness and ceremony here than anywhere else. San Salvario is Turin's most cosmopolitan neighbourhood: multicultural, walkable, and full of café terraces, bookshops, and independent restaurants. Ski resorts in the Aosta Valley are 90 minutes away; the Ligurian coast is 2 hours south. A one-bedroom in San Salvario or Cit Turin costs €650–900/month the lowest of any major Italian city.
