I just moved to Turin and I just want to say that is an absolutely beautiful city. Is you ever are in Italy, it might not be part of any “top 10 places to see in Italy” posts, but it’s worth.

Amazing food (Piedmontese food + Savoie food from the neighboring France region), beautiful mountains, amazing people (Politecnico of Torino is huge), and great wine as well (Barolo, timorasso).

It has an atmosphere and architectural style unlike any other Italian city. It's definitely one of my favorites, though I might be biased because I'm from one of the neighboring villages (and I'm probably gonna move in the city soon).

Hey, I just moved to Turin too! I agree it's a beautiful city and has a great food scene. Italian bureaucracy as an expat though is something else...

Nice! Let’s sync and grab a beer if you want. Trying to meet people in the city.

Did you two move there for jobs? Do you have Italian citizenship?

I’d love to make that move but AFAIK Italy doesn’t have a “digital nomad” visa like many other countries now have.

No, I moved because I like Italy and this is a great city to live in (a multi variable analysis I made).

If you have any Italian ancestor, you might be able to claim your Italian citizenship. I think there are some “entrepreneurial visas”, but I’m really not sure.

Also two good football teams. (Juventus hasn't been doing well but it's still a giant in European football).

Yep. I don’t follow football regularly, but I love to go see Juve. Amazing Stadium and atmosphere. I’ve never been to the stadium of “The Toro”.

Turin indeed is worth a visit.

The marvels of the place are not in "if it's Tuesday this must be Belgium" stumble-upon sights. It is more about things you will find after luck or investigation.

I am from Turin and I really love when it's appreciated

Awesome! What do you do? I’m trying to find some programming/data science groups/meetups but it’s being hard so far. Social stuff is great tho! I already found an Ultimate team.
