Turin
Turin, capital of the north Italian region of Piedmont and the province of the same name, lies on the left bank of the Po in a fertile plain, at the confluence of the Rivers Dora Riparia and Po.
The regularity of the city's layout is an inheritance from Roman times; its present aspect was largely shaped by the architects of the Baroque period, chief among whom were Guarino Guarini (1624-83) of Modena and the Sicilian Filippo Juvarra (1678-1736). Many of the long straight streets of Turin are lined with arcades.
