Hello and welcome to Turin! As a guide, I am driven by the passion of sharing the heart and heritage of Piedmont—a land I have loved and explored since I was 14, when I first set out on my 50cc motorbike to uncover its hidden treasures. Even today, I am still discovering new natural and man-made wonders at every new trip. I was raised on the farm of my grandfather, who taught me in the traditional language the ancient art of winemaking, together with the deep connection between this land and its people. Through my tours, I offer you an authentic journey into Piedmont’s ancestral heritage, where culture, history, and nature intertwine. As a trained political scientist, I also bring a unique perspective, helping you understand Piedmont’s rich historical and geographical significance, in its human connections across the Western Alps and its historic maritime gateway to the world, Nice. Last but not least, I have a professional background as a diplomat. I’ve lived and worked in the Caucasus and Central Asia, lands whose rugged landscapes wonderfully echoed Piedmont’s beauty, reminding me daily of home. This experience honed my skills in organizing group tours, managing arrivals, and briefing international guests. During my postings’ vacations, I took great joy in introducing foreign colleagues to Turin’s rich history, culture, and culinary traditions. Over the years, I also became a proud father of three, which also helps me to be a friendly guide, engaging travellers of all ages with patience and humour. Let’s explore Piedmont together. Through Turin’s baroque palaces, sharing the secrets of local winemaking, or leading you off the beaten path, I will ensure that this land and its way of life will provide you with insightful and unforgettable experiences —slowly, deeply, and with passion. I am a professional tour leader for Italy I can customize every journey according to your interests and expectations I am an author about travel experiences ('Storie dal Mondo' - https://mn.kel12.com) I am an experienced driver and I can also of course accompany you in your vehicle or arrange for a separate car and driver.

A Piedmontese’s Journey Through the Secrets of a Hybrid City
Overview of your Turin tour
Join me for an immersive walk through Turin’s soul, where every cobblestone whispers of Savoy kings, factory workers, and the disappearing lingua franca of the Alps. You will understand how the Alps’ peaks shaped our identity and the struggle to save our local language and traditions. This isn’t just a history tour; it’s a conversation about my city—the one I’ve watched evolve, which I left as a diplomat, but I always carried in my heart, because —like a good Barolo— it keeps growing more inspiring and complex with time. Why Walk With Me? Because I won’t just recite dates, but I will make you feel all of this with a “bogianen” spirit (our slang for "don’t budge"). Slowly, deeply, and with passion.
Your Turin tour itinerary
- We will walk through Royal Turin, not stopping at the postcard appearance but appreciating the hidden beauty of its courtyards where history tells its secrets - We will feel the past of this old capital inside a café on the noble floor of a 17th-century palace, to taste a bicerin (our decadent chocolate-coffee elixir) where counts once brokered treaties - We will also lean on the popular soul of the city, like in the vanishing piòle (traditional taverns) where workers once had lunch - You will appreciate Turin’s hybrid cultural identity in Europe’s largest open-air market, exalting the city’s melancholy beauty, where the scent of local food mingles with Arabic insertions: a far cry from the monolingual haggling of my granda (grand-mother), yet something of Piedmontese stubbornness resists - Last but not least, Turin’s mystic identity: mixing sacred and profane, the city of the Holy Shroud is a place where ancient powers converge, pulsing with hidden energy and revealing esoteric signs in its architecture
