Off the classic tourist circuits

You'll hear about unsolved crimes, enigmatic figures who lived and worked along these streets, places that still carry a mysterious aura. Every stop is a piece of a dark, fascinating puzzle that redraws the neighbourhood's identity.

Documented Facts and Atmosphere

The narration mixes documented historical facts, local crime reporting and gothic atmosphere in a balanced way: this isn't easy thrill, but a deeper, more authentic understanding of how certain events have shaped Vanchiglia's soul over the decades.

The small-group format guarantees an intimate experience where you can ask questions, dive into details and engage with the storytelling. The duration is calibrated not to tire, keeping attention high from start to finish. By the end you'll have a completely new view of this neighbourhood — and perhaps you'll look at the entire city of Torino with different eyes.

Useful tips

  • Indossa scarpe comode: il tour si svolge interamente a piedi tra le strade acciottolate del quartiere, quindi il comfort ai piedi fa davvero la differenza.
  • Vanchiglia è un quartiere vivace soprattutto la sera: se vuoi prolungare l'esperienza, fermati in uno dei locali della zona dopo il tour per un aperitivo all'ombra delle storie appena ascoltate.
  • Porta con te una giacca leggera anche in primavera e autunno: le serate torinesi possono diventare fresche, e camminare all'aperto richiede qualche strato in più rispetto a quanto si pensi.
