Field notes
Piedmont's capital — former royal capital of the House of Savoy and the first capital of unified Italy (1861–1865). The Quadrilatero Romano (historic old town), San Salvario (the multi-cultural creative quarter), and Crocetta (the residential alternative) are the typical nomad anchors. Same Italian DNV as Naples/Rome/Milan. The structural draws are alpine-orbit geography (Sestriere ski resort is 90 minutes; Mont Blanc is 2.5 hours), industrial-design heritage (FIAT, the Lingotto factory), and rents ~30% below Milan with arguably better food-and-coffee culture (Turin invented the espresso bar tradition).
