Comedians born in Torino

Capital of Piedmont and the first capital of a united Italy, Torino, known in English as Turin, is an elegant city of arcaded boulevards and baroque squares beneath the Alps. Long the home of the car maker Fiat and the House of Savoy, it treasures the Mole Antonelliana, its cinema museum and the celebrated Shroud. A great centre of industry and culture, it sustains theatres and clubs where Italy's stand-up comedy scene finds enthusiastic audiences.
