While travelling, you may happen to lose a document, face an unexpected legal issue or need institutional support. In these cases, the main point of reference is the consulate or embassy of your own country. Unlike many other Italian cities, Turin has a wide consular network on its own territory, which means faster response times and more accessible assistance for foreign citizens.
