Turin, the first capital city of the Regno d’Italia and main engine of the Italian industrialization, is today mutating considerably its urban structure. Some of the best architects in the world were asked to start this historical change: Piano, Aulenti, Fuksas, Isozaki, Foster were only some of the prestigious signatures that contributed to give Torino an completely renewed and extraordinarily modern image, rather than the grey and industrial one it used to have.
This process was launched in the past few years and it was considerably accelerated by the advent of the Winter Olympics, that contributed to make over a great number of industrial areas and gave the possibility to entire districts to assume a whole new appearance.
All of this increased the high quality of the real estates in Torino.
Compared to the other Italian cities, Torino presents a market with very interesting quotations.
A beautiful house in the centre of the city can be bought for only 4 or 5 thousands Euros for square metre. Very interesting prices if compared to cities such as Milano, Firenze, Roma or Napoli.
Another very important factor is that the taxable value of the real estates in prestigious areas is very low, even with the considerable renovation these areas have seen during the years.
Obviously this factor affects positively on the taxation but even with a second house keeps on being very interesting.
Therefore, to whoever has a capital to invest, Torino opens very interesting scenarios, also for its geographic position, essential crossroad for the Olympic Mountains (Sestriere, Pragelato, Bardonecchia), and for vineyard and truffle hills as well (Langhe, Roero and Monferrato), the lakes (Maggiore, Orta), the sea of Liguria and the mountains of the Valle D’Aosta (Courmayeur, Cervinia, Cogne).
