Turin

Turin is a celebrated city of North Italy, a former capital of Piedmont, 80 miles North-West of Genoa. Although one of the oldest of Italian cities, it presents quite a modern appearance, with handsome streets, statues, squares, gardens, a Renaissance cathedral, palaces, university, large library, colleges and museums, &c. Its manufactures are chiefly of textiles. It has an interesting history from the time of its first mention in Hannibal's day.
