If you are still there and like ice cream and patisserie, they have the best chocolatiers and ice cream placesVery lovely place
IceCream :Alberto Marchetti , La Romana, and the famous gianduiotto at Caffe Gelateria Florio in Via Po; still dreaming of it!
Patisserie : Pasticceria Pfatish , via Paolo Sacchi 42 or Pasticceria Gerla Corso Vittorio Emanuele 88
Chocolatier: Peyrano and Pfatish too and Guido Gobino.
Torino became famous for its patisseries when several Swiss pastry chefs moved to Torino at the beginning of the 1900
It still keeps its tradition
Thanks, this is a great list! I haven't managed to sampled them all yet, so it will be something for the next year. There is also a great store (Chocolate7) featuring some of the best chocolates from all over the world, and we always visit it when we are in town

Just ran across this thread..... Have a terrific time in Italy!Spending the week after Christmas in Italy (my third trip there over the last couple decades), and it spending too much time and money putting together this trip’s camera kit
I think last time I brought a Sony a7r and a RX100 III and a bunch of prime lenses. This time I think it will be my Leica Q2, and Sony with belt clips instead of neck straps, and my new 24-70 2.8 lens. I figure the Q2 will be good enough for all those shots in darkened churches and museums, and the Sony will work everywhere else. Can’t decide whether to also bring my RX100 VI, because I can’t remember how often I used a lens >70mm. I never used a spider holster/clip before, and the reason I brought the RX100 last time was my back and neck ache badly after a day of lugging around the big cameras. But I’ve tested it over the last few days, and it’s remarkable how the camera isn’t even noticeable hanging off my hip. Anyway, I’ll share some shots when I come back.
In response to the question about what camera gear to take, I would definitely take the Q2 and the Sony with the 20-70 f/2.8 lens. It probably can't hurt to also tuck the RX100 VI in the bag as well, just on the off chance that you might find a use for it, since it does reach to 200mm, offering more flexibility in range.

It is amazing how we just keep on keeping on. Go back and re-build.You must be a lot of fun at parties
On my tour, It struck me odd that one of the reasons Pompeii was such a cool city was they had an abundance of volcanic rock and stone to make cement that still lasts today. No one ever stop and wondered why there was so much of this volcanic material available?

After one full day, and about to embark on day 2 (Vatican), so far I’ve been using the Leica. Mostly out of weight considerations. The lure of the 24-70 on the sony hasn’t yet triggered me to carry it. But I’m committing myself to bring the sony along on day 3.

Man that is spectacular, even right out of the camera I mean talk about your wide dynamic range.
