I first visited Turin in 1993. My only knowledge of the city was that FIAT cars were made there and The Italian Job was filmed on its busy streets. By 2002 I had moved to the city with my wife and son. A few days after we moved into our neglected fourth floor apartment we went and bought a TV. No guesses as to what was the first film we watched! Here we were in the city it was made, watching it more than 30 years on, amongst the boxes and dust that were forming our new life in Italy.
A friend showed us the 'Palazzo a Vela', that huge curved roof the Minis drove on. Then we found other locations - the church steps, the weir. Most of the locations unchanged and completely recognisable. I was hooked on finding all the locations I could and putting together a guided tour so others could enjoy the experience too.
The tour was a great success, taking people around in a classic Mini, but life changes and I had to stop conducting them. Not wanting to rob anyone of the chance to see the places or our knowledge go to waste, we decided to put this guide together.
No other publication, article or Web site is as accurate or definitive. We researched everything very carefully and worked out the best ways of seeing all these fabulous places to make The Italian Job lives on.
I'm certain you will be as thrilled as I was when I first saw these locations. You will fall in love with the film all over again and Turin will become an outstanding memory in your life. Trust me!
