“I got it down at Porta Palazzo!” Every Torinese must have said that once in their lives, pleased as punch after a trip down to this market, Porta Palazzo the biggest market area in Europe.

Here – amongst the stalls set up in Piazza della Repubblica, a stone’s throw from the Duomo and the Porte Palatine – you really can find everything: footwear, clothes, housewares, toys, food from all over Italy and specialities from all over the world.

A crowd of faces, languages, dialects that are the living proof that new Turin is a melting pot of stories, traditions and cultures.
