The first capital of unified Italy, and still the seat of the House of Savoy. Turin's most distinctive profession is entrepreneur at more than four times the global rate — the Agnellis, FIAT, and a long Piedmontese industrial tradition — alongside an unusually heavy philosopher, composer, and military-officer column. Primo Levi, Cavour, Victor Emmanuel II, and Lagrange all belong to this bench, and the 19th century is heavier here than in almost any other Italian city.
