One is welcomed more like a friend than a customer by this winemaker and his family. Enjoy a leisurely, informative tasting before selecting the wines you want to buy. Throughout the range they are all good value. One of the reasons I like to visit Italy in my own car each year is to be able to take several cases of Mauro Sebaste's lovely wine back to England with me. It never disappoints.

Tradition and innovation. This is the oxymoron on which the Montaribaldi company grounds its great success. Founded in 1968 in the very heart of Barbaresco by Giuseppe Talliano and his wife, it was then taken over in 1994 by their sons Luciano and Roberto. Now the whole family is running it, brewing with passion the best quality wines while always respecting the oldest traditions.As matter of fact, in the last few years, the company has decided to bet on innovation without changing its best traditions. It is exactly that which makes the company able to continuously improve the quality of their wines, while always promoting their land. Such careful management, along with the favorable climate conditions, the richness of its soil, the implementation of new biodynamic techniques, the accurate selection of wines and the careful vinification let Montaribaldi obtain a wide range of excellent, unique wines which are appreciated all over the world and which have become a clear example of the “glocal” philosophy.
Friendly vineyard offering excellent tours and wine tastings in a nice setting (the inside space remains cool during the heatwave).

Founded in 1932, the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile is one of the most famous tech and science museums in the world. With a contemporary and futuristic look, the museum's collection includes more than 200 original cars of 80 different brands, each supported by an interactive research system and a spectacular scenic design.
A homage to the Italian car industry (but shows also the car development in general) Full of schick and presented very well and interesting.

The Museo delle Antichità Egizie is the only museum other than the Cairo Museum that is dedicated solely to Egyptian art and culture. Many international scholars, since the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs Jean-François Champollion, who came to Turin in 1824, spend much time pouring over the collections. It was Champollion who famously wrote, “The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin”.The collections that make up today’s Museum, were enlarged by the excavations conducted in Egypt by the Museum’s archaeological mission between 1900 and 1935 (a period when finds were divided between the excavators and Egypt).The Egyptian Museum in Turin has begun 2009 an important project which wants to widen spaces in order to enhance the collections through modern museographical and museological criteria. The Museum will be open all over the period of restoration and the New Egyptian Museum inauguration is scheduled for the year 2015.
Renovated three or four years ago, contains an astonishing array of Egyptian artifacts of the highest quality, most of them "acquired" by at times dubious means, at the beginning of the 19th century and offering a fascinating vision of Ancient Egypt. A treasure house of precious objects and cultural treasures.

The Museum is one of the most important of its kind in the world thanks to it vast collection and the many different scientific and educational activities it carries out. But what makes it truly unique is its special exhibit setup. The museum is located inside the Mole Antonelliana, a bizarre and fascinating monument which is the symbol of the City of Torino. And the various areas inside the Mole Antonelliana were the starting point for the Swiss set designer François Confino who, with talent and imagination, multiplied the museum's itineraries. He created a spectacular presentation that offers visitors continuous and unexpected visual and acoustic stimuli, just like when we watch a film that involves and moves us.
One of my very favourites in Torino. I already visited three times and every time there is something new to see. The museum is hosted inside the Mole Antonelliana, a tall, impressive tower in the historical centre of the city. There were restrictions to the entrance because of the Covid, but I bought my tickets online, with a set entrance time and we didn't have any problem and didn't have to queue to enter. The first part of the visit is about the history of cinema from the very beginning and very interesting because of the ancient mechanical tools in display, proving that mankind has always be fascinated by moving images. Then the museum develops the internal part of the tower, displaying wonderful photos, interactive tools, short documentaries and lots of memorabilia. Red velvet reclining chairs are available for visitors who want to watch images from the current exhibition. This time it was costumes used in many movie productions. An amazing display of great artisanal skills, culminating with the elaborate costume built to celebrate the Mole and Torino. Definitely recommended, fascinating every time I visit.

In juli 2020 we visited the winery of Marchesi di Barolo. The winery is very nice located and decorated. We had a guided tour during which we learned about the history and the way the wines are stored. It was very facinating to see the big wine barrels in which the wines are stored untill they are ready to be bottled. The tour ended in the shop where all their wines can be bought. Unfortunately the wine tasting was limited due to COVID-19. We bought some wines which tasted fantastic. In short it was a very interesting visit which we can recommend to everyone visiting the Barolo area.

We combined the tour of the stadium with a visit to the museum and we all did enjoy the both. The stadium is pretty new and very well maintained which, of course, is understandable when we talk about such a great club as Juventus. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was giving a lot of information about the history of the club and its present events. Although the tour group was quite big and the guide was talking in Italian and English, he was able and patient to answer all the questions. Prior to starting the tour, we watched a 2-3 minutes 3D movie about Juventus and its most memorable matches for which we had to pay a couple of euros more. The tour included the grandstand, the pitch, the dressing rooms, the press room, etc. After the stadium tour we went to the museum and finally to the store for some outfits and souvenirs. Would be awesome to visit a match here one day.....
