A well kept secret

Torino (or Turin) is off the beaten path to most American tourists. Did you know that the "T" in Fiat stands for Torino (Fabbrica Italiana Automobilo Torino)? I was told that it stands for Tony (as in Fix it Again, Tony. Downtown Torino is gorgeous with block after block of these porticos protecting pedestrians from rain and snow - I read that there are something like 11 miles in all. During about three hours of wandering downtown, I didn't hear one person speaking English. Try finding that in Paris, Rome or Florence!
