I just moved to Turin and I just want to say that is an absolutely beautiful city. Is you ever are in Italy, it might not be part of any “top 10 places to see in Italy” posts, but it’s worth. Amazing food (Piedmontese food + Savoie food from the neighboring France region), beautiful mountains, amazing people (Politecnico of Torino is huge), and great wine as well (Barolo, timorasso).

Hey, I just moved to Turin too! I agree it's a beautiful city and has a great food scene. Italian bureaucracy as an expat though is something else...

Nice! Let’s sync and grab a beer if you want. Trying to meet people in the city.

Turin indeed is worth a visit.

I am from Turin and I really love when it's appreciated

Awesome! What do you do? I’m trying to find some programming/data science groups/meetups but it’s being hard so far. Social stuff is great tho! I already found an Ultimate team.

Did you two move there for jobs? Do you have Italian citizenship?

I’d love to make that move but AFAIK Italy doesn’t have a “digital nomad” visa like many other countries now have.

No, I moved because I like Italy and this is a great city to live in (a multi variable analysis I made).

If you have any Italian ancestor, you might be able to claim your Italian citizenship. I think there are some “entrepreneurial visas”, but I’m really not sure.

Also two good football teams. (Juventus hasn't been doing well but it's still a giant in European football).

Yep. I don’t follow football regularly, but I love to go see Juve. Amazing Stadium and atmosphere. I’ve never been to the stadium of “The Toro”.

The interesting thing about Nietzsche isn't just what he wrote, but how people respond to him. It's incredibly hard to read him and look at religion (or anything that appeals to that impulse) the same sort of way. I've yet to see a Christian who both likes him and is familiar with him.

Yeah nietzsche crushed a few ideologies that were put into me in childhood.
