Visiting TURIN? Where Italian COFFEE led to the UNIFICATION of ITALY

Every travel to Italy should include a visit to the city of Turin since the city for centuries has been synonymous with coffee. This is reflected in the huge number of historic Italian coffee houses where special Italian coffee blends are served in charming period settings. Turin is the city where "Italian coffee made Italy" because in these venues politicians, artists, aristocrats, revolutionaries and anarchists exchanged ideas over coffee and prepared the ground for the most pivotal moment in Italian history: Italian Risorgimento, a movement for Italian unification that culminated in the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.

The list of traditional cafés in Turin is nearly endless and in each of them a small part of the history of my country was written. In this video I will show world-class coffee houses such as Café Fiorio, Caffè Mulassano and Caffè Torino. Sipping coffee in these informal museums not only can you get a taste of the drink that has become an essential part of everyday life in Italy but if you listen or dream carefully enough you can almost hear the speeches and conversations that created Italy.

On your visit to Italy a 1-day trip to visit Turin is the best was to understand how more than a dozen of small kingdoms and other political entities got together and started punching above their weight to gain independence.
