Recently been to Turin (called Torino in Italian) city which is the automobile manufacturing capital of Italy much like what was Detroit for US.

FIAT, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and many other defunct Italian car companies have their origins in this city.


Main city square called Piazza San Carlo. Few pictures from there

While in Turin, I got the opportunity to visit 'Automobile Museum' of turin (Museo dell'automobile) which has the largest collection of very old cars which I will post here. It will be a dream come true for automobile enthusiasts because it will take you on a historical ride of how the cars evolved and developed across the world.
