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.
One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Turin during each.
