Did you know that Turin has 2 souls? One linked to white magic and the other one to evil-black magic, as part of 2 triangles. A long esoteric and mysterious tradition sneaks into the streets, on old buildings doors, hidden between the statues in the main squares, covering dark truths and legends. We found it out in a lovely late summer evening, thanks to Torino Magica Tour supplied by Somewhere Tour, narrated by official Piedmont region excellent tour guides with passion and enthusiasm, eager to spread their knowledge again after the long lockdown - they gave us the chance to know better the city we have been living in for 5 years now.

TORINO NOIR | Turin Cathedral Bell Tower exclusively opened for Somewhere Tour, 200 steps: we reach the top and the view is stunning. The enlighted Mole, Palazzo Madama standing out in all its majesty, the city lights. The tour guide starts talking and we immediately travel back to a past Turin, scourged by the plague, crime stories and exorcism, a Noir past with red blood shades. The exclusive openings continue to the Town Hall courtyard and to a peculiar Church where the ones condemned to death used to spend the last moments of their lives. You can live this and much more we prefer not to unveil all Fridays, 8.30 pm with Somewhere Tour.
