Who said autumn is a sad and grey season?
In Torino, new major exhibitions are opening and the theatre and concert seasons are getting underway, the shop windows are sparkling in preparation for the Christmas holidays, the streets and squares are enlightened by Luci d'Artista, the avenues and parks are coloured in yellow, orange and red and it is still pleasant to have nice walks.
The woods and mountains of the province show the same marvellous warm shades of foliage and they are full of fragrances and teeming with activity: the grape harvest, the gathering of mushrooms and chestnuts, the ripening of pumpkins and apples... all products that we find on our tables to enhance the traditional cuisine.
Autumn is really a wonderful season!
