4 Welcome to Italy Italy is a country located in south-central Europe between the Alps mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea. Rome is its capital and largest city but other major cities in Italy include Turin, Milan, Naples and Palermo. Italy is known for its long history, historic architecture and political, social and economic importance within Europe. History of Italy Italy has a very long history that dates back to the 8th and 7th century B.C.E. when Greeks settled the southern part of the Italian Peninsula. At the same time the central portion of the peninsula was settled by the Romans and Etruscans. Following the collapse of the Roman Empire the region was invaded several times and conflicts developed between the various foreign powers controlling the area. By the 11th century the 4
5 northern part of the peninsula began to regain stability and during the Renaissance the identification of a single Italian nationality and culture developed. By the 16th century however, Italy again began to decline in power. By the 19th century Italy underwent a period of reunification and in 1861 Victor Emmanuel II of the House of Savoy became the King of Italy. In 1870, Rome was incorporated into Italy and from 1870 to 1922 Italy was ruled as a constitutional monarchy. In 1922 Benito Mussolini came to power and Italy's political parties and personal liberties were eventually eliminated under his dictatorship called the Corporate State. In 1940 Italy, along with Germany, declared war on the United Kingdom and France to begin World War II. One year later in 1941 it and the other Axis powers declared war on the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1943 the Allies invaded Sicily, Mussolini was dismissed from power and Marshal Pietro Badoglio was appointed as Premier. Shortly thereafter the Badoglio government declared war on Germany and in April 1945 German forces were driven from Italy. A referendum in 1946 ended Italy's monarchy and an election was held to choose a constituent assembly to aid in creating a new republic. In 1947 a WWII peace treaty shifted Italy's borders and its eastern border region was given to Yugoslavia and the area around the city of Trieste became a free territory. In 1954 however, the area was divided 5
6 between Italy and Yugoslavia. In addition, the WWII treaty also resulted in Italy giving up its overseas territories and several islands within the Mediterranean. In 1957 Italy became a founding member of the European Economic Community (which later became the European Union). Throughout the 1960s and into the early 1980s Italy was plagued by an economic crisis which led to severe social instability. By the late 1980s however, Italy's government began to recover and since then it has become one of the most important nations in Europe and one of the world's largest industrial nations. Government of Italy Today Italy's government is a republic. It has an executive branch of government consisting of a chief of state (the president) and a head of government (the prime minister). Its legislative branch is made up of a bicameral Parliament that includes a Senate and a Chamber of Deputies. Italy's judicial branch consists of a Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court of Cassation. Italy is divided into 20 different regions for local administration. 6
7 Economics and Land Use in Italy Italy's economy is relatively strong and diversified. The north is highly industrialized while the south is less developed and more dependent on agriculture. In general Italy's economy is driven by manufacturing. The main industries in Italy are tourism, machinery, iron and steel, chemicals, food processing, textiles, motor vehicles, clothing, footwear and ceramics. The main agricultural products of Italy are fruits, vegetables, grapes, potatoes, grain, olives, beef, dairy products and fish. 7
8 Geography and Climate of Italy Italy is located in Southern Europe on a peninsula that extends south from the Alps Mountains into the Mediterranean Sea. Its total area is 116,348 square miles (301,340 sq km). Italy's area consists of the main Italian Peninsula as well as several islands, including Sicily and Sardinia. It has a varied topography that is mostly rugged and mountainous. There are also some areas of plains and some coastal lowlands. The highest point in Italy is Mont Blanc de Courmayeur at 15,577 feet (4,748 m). The climate of Italy is mostly Mediterranean, but the far north is alpine and the south is hot and dry. For example Palermo, located in the south on the island of Sicily has an average July high temperature of 83 F (28 C) and a January average low of 47 F (8 C). By contrast Turin, located on the northern part of the Italian Peninsula has an average July high of 82 F (27.6 C) and a January low of 26 F (-3 C). 8
9 Welcome to Torino Turin (Italian: Torino), Italy, the capital of Piedmont region. It lies near the Alps on the Po River, about 75 miles (120 km) southwest of Milan. Metropolitan Turin is a major industrial area, Italy's leading producer of automobiles. Other products include textiles, clothing, processed foods, and leather goods. 9
10 Turin has wide boulevards, many parks and squares, and notable 17thand 18th-century buildings. Several of these buildings, such as the Royal Palace, Madama Palace, and Carignano Palace, were residences of the dukes of Savoy. Among noted museums are the Egyptian Museum, the Museum of Antiquities, and the Sabauda Gallery, which displays works of Flemish, Dutch, and Italian masters. In the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, in St. John's Cathedral, is the cloth that is said to have wrapped Christ's body. In ancient times Turin was the center of the Taurini tribe. Later it was a Roman military colony called Augusta Taurinorum. After the fall of Rome in the fifth century, it was dominated by Lombards and Franks and later was the seat of a small feudal state. About 1280 Turin came under control of the House of Savoy, which made it the chief city of its Italian possessions. The French occupied Turin from 1536 to 1562 and again from 1640 to In 1720 it was made the capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia and, except for the years of Napoleonic occupation (1800 to 1814), remained so until the unification of Italy in Turin was the home of nationalist leader Count Camillo Cavour and was a major center of the Risorgimento (unification movement). From 1861 to 1865 it was the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. 10
11 Turin Attractions Turin has many museums. Walking around the city with its arcades, Baroque buildings, and beautiful piazzas can be very enjoyable. Piazza Castello and Palazzo Reale are at the center of Turin. The square is a pedestrian area with benches and small fountains, ringed by beautiful, grand buildings. Via Po is an interesting walking street with long arcades and many historic palaces and cafes. It starts at Piazza Castello. The Mole Antonelliana, a 167-meter-tall tower built between 1798 and 1888, houses an excellent cinema museum. A panoramic lift takes you to the top of the tower for some expansive views of the city. Palazzo Carignano is the birthplace of Vittorio Emanuele II in The Unification of Italy was proclaimed here in It now houses the 11
12 Museo del Risorgimento and you can see the royal apartments Royal Armory, too. Museo Egizio is the second most important Egyptian museum in the world (the first is in Cairo). It is housed in a huge baroque palace which also holds the Galleria Sabauda with a large collection of historic paintings. Piazza San Carlo, known as the "drawing room of Turin", is a beautiful baroque square with the twin churches of San Carlo and Santa Cristina as well as the above museum. Shroud of Turin, or the Holy Shroud, is housed in the Turin Cathedral but is only put on display every 10 years. The Museum of the Holy Shroud is open daily. Il Quadrilatero is an interesting maze of backstreets with sprawling markets and splendid churches. This is another good place to wander. Elegant and historic bars and cafes are everywhere in central Turin. Try a bicerin, a local layered drink made with coffee, chocolate, and cream. Cafes in Turin also serve other interesting trendy coffee drinks. Turin, European Capital of Sport 2015 The Italian city of Torino has been nominated recently as European Capital of Sport It was a decision of the ACES Europe Evaluation Committee who designated Turin after visiting the city and evaluating it 12
13 vis-à-vis the other finalist, Krakow. ACES Europe positively valued the important history of sport in Turin spanning more than one-and-a-half century of life where the multitude of sport societies, clubs, facilities and the great legacy left by the Winter Olympics celebrated in 2006 have left the city with excellent credentials. The city of Turin has therefore designed for the year 2015 a big sporting calendar with activities that promotes health, welfare and integration. Winter Olympics 2006 Turin was host for the 2006 Winter Olympics with events in town and in seven nearby localities. The awards ceremonies took place in Turin's central piazza, Piazza Castello, integrating Italy's history and piazza culture with the Olympics.

You can reach Milano and then take another bus or train to Torino. Flixbus and Eurolines are two companies who have many connections with Torino. III. Car or Van: Torino is well-served by highways network. Don t worry! Just use Google Maps! ;) IV. Hitchhiking: It s an unusual method nowadays, only brave hearted students would do it. You may try your luck on the road. If you do, let me (Walid) know in advance so I will personally take care of your case and follow you up! XD V. Space crafts: Garages in Torino have a quite high cost. Unfortunately, we don t have our own spacecraft garage yet. This feature will hopefully be available in the not-so-far future. 17
18 VI. Drones and other Non-Conventional transports: Let us know in advance how you intend reaching us and we will find a tailor-made solution ;) How to reach the Location of your first arrival We are planning to start the course with a leisure Weekend Trip in which participating students will get to know each other, have fun together, so they will be in the right mood to start the course. This first weekend trip is planned to be in an Italian region different from Piedmont, where Turin is located. The location and the city in which you should arrive for the first time is not specified yet. Students who will be accepted for the course will be informed in the next future and sufficiently before the beginning of the course about the city in which they should arrive. Anyway, we will have an organizer who will take care of this and make your life easier for arrival and departure! ;) 18
19 In and around Torino Currency and Prices The currency in Italy is EURO ( ) The following tables contain some examples of prices in Italy: Item Price (Euro) a beer (supermarket - bar - pub) a pizza a slice of pizza 2.00 a packet of cigarettes 4.10 an ice-cream a bottle of wine (supermarket - restaurant) a can of Coke (supermarket - bar - pub) a Hamburger/Cheeseburger at McDonald s 1.50 a McDonald s Menu 6.50 a Kebab roll
20 a postcard + stamp for EU 1.00 a Bus/Tramway/Metro ticket 1.50 Electricity In Italy we use "in-line" sockets (they look like this: [o o o]), with 220V, 50Hz AC. Normally, your mobile phone charger should fit in the socket but you may need an adaptor for devices like hair-dryer or iron (yes, we ve had participants who brought irons with them :D). In the modern buildings European sockets are usually available. Alcohol Even if American tourists coming here are always surprised about this, you might already know that in Italy you can buy alcohol in any quantity, anywhere, at any age, anytime and in almost all the public places selling drinks and food. Italian laws, which are surprisingly liberal in this occasion, don't restrict the alcoholic consumption unless you are going to drive (or pilot an aircraft of course). So the only way you can have trouble with police when drinking is becoming dangerous or aggressive towards other people. 20
21 Restaurants Prices can differ a lot from a place to place; when computing prices remember that at restaurants you have to pay a fixed amount of money for each person (usually between 1,00 and 2,00 euro) that is listed somewhere in the menu and in the bill, referred as "Pane e Coperto". This doesn't apply to restaurants like McDonald's or Kebab in which there's no table dressing. Shops Shops close around 7.30 to 8.00 pm. In the center of Turin, you will mostly find small shops and little supermarkets; again looking at the prices is a universal advice, remember that VAT (in Italian called IVA) is always included in the showed price. Especially if you are a girl you will want to wander around to see some clothes and shoes. There are some streets in the center of Turin with a high concentration of such kind of shops: Via Roma (fashion shops), Via Garibaldi (shops mostly for young people, with moderate prices) and Via Po. Pubs and Night clubs Torino offers a great variety of pubs, and they are not too expensive (a beer may cost you from 3,50-5,50 ) but again always look for the prices first. Pubs are quite popular between Italian young people and every 21
22 one of us will be able to suggest you a good one. If you are going to seek a good disco in Turin, you may consider them quite expensive, compared with the other prices. You should expect to spend 10,00 to enter, but sometimes entry prices rise up to 25 and over. Usually the ticket includes the first drink. Italian body language Have you ever meet an Italian? I mean, a real Italian? If you do, well, you know we don t need to speak to communicate. We just need our hands. You can see in this paragraph a very small and incomplete list of our body dictionary. Wanna know the meaning of every gestures? Just come to Italy and ask to random people! 22
