Torineses

The Torineses are the residents of Turin, commonly referred to in English as Torinesi from the Italian Torinesi. They form the urban and cultural core of the city of Turin, the capital of the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy. Turin lies along the Po River at the foot of the Alps and has long been an industrial and political center.

The population is drawn from the city and its metropolitan area, with Italian as the dominant language. The Torineses also retain Piedmontese dialects and have historical ties to French-speaking communities due to Piedmont's past links with the House of Savoy and the proximity to the French-speaking world.

Economy and culture: Historically an industrial hub, Turin is associated with manufacturing, notably Fiat and related engineering sectors. In recent decades the city diversified toward services, technology, and design, while maintaining a strong tradition of crafts and culture. The Torineses are connected to renowned cultural institutions in the city, such as the Museo Egizio, which houses one of the world's largest collections of Egyptian antiquities, and the Mole Antonelliana, a symbol of the city that houses the National Museum of Cinema. The Shroud of Turin, kept in the Cathedral of Turin, is a religious artifact traditionally linked to the city. Turin also has a distinctive culinary scene within Piedmont, with specialties like gianduja chocolate and bagna cauda.

The Torineses share a regional identity tied to Turin, reflecting a mix of northern Italian and international influences. They contribute to the city's reputation in industry, culture, and cuisine and participate in regional and national events.
