Hemingway in Turin: In Ernest’s Footsteps Through the Streets of the City

Turin, early 20th century.
A city buzzing with energy in the aftermath of the Great War. It is here that a young Ernest Hemingway left traces of himself—through fleeting love stories and urban corners that still whisper of his presence today.

Thanks to the passionate research of Francesco Nugnes and Angelo Toppino, this story reconstructs the forgotten connection between the American writer and the city of Turin. From the elegant streets of Via Pietro Micca to the tables of historic cafés, from the memories of the Bellia family to the evocative atmosphere of a city that speaks through its architecture and ambiance, participants are invited on a journey through time—one that sheds light on important, lesser-known aspects of the local heritage, weaving together literature, memory, and identity.

This is a tour that offers not only a glimpse into Hemingway’s Turin, but also a new lens through which to experience the city with fresh eyes. Because every city is made of stories—and this is one that deserves to be told.
