Our Campus in Turin

Turin (Population 908,000) or Torino, is nestled at the foot of the Italian Alps of northern Italy. Torino astonishes the senses with its beautiful Baroque architecture and imposing cathedral domes. The Po river flows through the city and brings to life the natural beauty and unique character that makes this city majestic destination for many Italians and foreigners. Recently the host of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games, Torino attracts outdoor enthusiasts and passionate fans of the most popular soccer team in Italy, Juventus F.C. Torino is a ma jor hub on the Italian train line and with its extensive network of trams and buses, traveling around Italy and the rest of Europe is very convenient. Its proximity to the rest of Europe makes it an ideal vantage point from which to travel and experience n ot only all of Italy, but surrounding countries. The modern life of the city is characterized largely by its art and design industries which employ many of its inhabitants. The presence of major Italian car design companies such as FIAT (which produces Alfa Romea, Lancia and Ferrari) has defined the contemporary economy in Torino, making it an important center of European commerce.
