External visit of the main historic cafés in Turin with a final tasting of Gianduiotto,Giacometta andAlpinluce, delicious handmade delicacies since 1897.

Turin's cafés were meeting places for poets, artists and political figures and are today a fundamental feature of the city, with elegant furnishings and glimpses of a distant past, whose flavor can still be felt. A journey through the places where the confectionery delicacies of the first capital of the Kingdom were born and where the process towards the unification of Italy came to life.

Starting from the smallest historic café in Turin, we will get to know the gluttonous palate of Camillo Benso di Cavour, we will discoverWanda Osiris's favorite candies and the place whereMacario drew inspiration for his macchiette, we will come across the curiosities of Piazza San Carlo and, following what was the “Via Nuova”, we will end the tour in the workshop of the most delicious Maitre Chocolatier in Turin.
