Ancient views of a lost Turin, made magical by that very special light that only the prints have. Frames of refined taste, to encase with a touch of further beauty a "souvenir" of the time that was: maybe a map, a portrait, a bucolic scene. And then paintings, etchings, lithographs ... To enter from Dosio, in via XX Settembre 43, means to visit a real museum. We must really allow ourselves a "private visit" in this shop of the most intimate, real Turin, which this year is 170 years old: it was inaugurated, in fact, by Margherita Dosio in 1848, the year of the revolutions. Here everything has remained as it once was. It is not difficult to imagine that among these rooms some of the illustrious clients of the Dosio could stroll, starting from the royal family, to pass to men like Molino, Einaudi, Colombotto Rosso. Louis Armstrong also came during his stay in Turin in 1935.
