The Italian Job from this week onwards ventures into a virtual journey over an Italian city, looking at its culture and its music scene.

We obviously HAD to start from Torino, not so much my home town but the city that holds a piece of my football-filled heart!! Yep, Torino is the city of Torino Football Club, referred to as TORO amongst supporters and friends. The 4th of May marks a sad anniversary for any supporter like me... But Torino is also home to gianduiotti, exquisite little chocolates, the closest you'll probably get to heaven through sweets! Torino has also a very vibrant artistic feel to it and music-wise, well, there's a bit for any taste, really.
