Caffè Torino

Welcome to Caffè Torino

" When horns stopped sounding in Via Roma, that was the signal. The road stopped, the elegant clumsy cars slowed down, men took off their hat. Women lightly curtsied, shop-keepers came quickly out from the door to greet too. Customers in the shops, spied upon smiling through the shop-windows. And Umberto, Mafalda and Maria of Savoia, as elegant as anybody else, came with their royal walking, carrying high their head, like who even had to learn how the royal family must walk.
