“Turin. Probably one of Italy’s best-kept tourist secrets. A city that fascinates you with its regularity, geometries, architectural balances of the most sober Baroque, marvelous palaces hidden behind large wooden gates, small Parisian-style squares. We are in the capital of the Savoy family, one of the oldest royal families in Europe, ideal terrain for hunting for secrets that mass tourism does not touch. Today we discover the Palazzo dei Conti Scaglia di Verrua, in the historic Quadrilatero Romano district. Begun in the late 1500s, the palace seems complete with its austere entrance courtyard and portico, only to reveal a second courtyard containing a wonderful inner garden.”
