Comedians born in Turin

Beneath the snow-capped Alps of north-western Italy, Turin is the industrial and cultural capital of Piedmont, famous for its rational grid of arcaded streets and grand piazzas. A cradle of Italian industry and cinema, it gave rise to major car manufacturing and hosts an acclaimed national film museum inside the towering Mole Antonelliana. Known too for fine chocolate and coffee houses, the city offers a lively arts and nightlife scene that welcomes touring stand-up comedy.
