Pregnancy in Turin by Christine
Hi, could you please share advice and tips about pregnancy in Turin? Who are the best gynecologists for pregnancy follow-ups? Which hospitals or clinics would you recommend to give birth in Turin? Thanks a lot in advance for your advice ...
I've just had my 2nd baby a month ago so, everything is still fresh in my mind. Hospitals- Most DO NOT offer Epidurals so, if that's what you're looking for, Sant'Anna is your best option. (I believe the hospital in Moncalieri offers it- as well ... Read More
Aperitivo Night ! by isabradi
Ciao to all the expats living in Torino. My name is Isabella and I am Italian. I am looking forward to meet new people and expand my friendship team. I have been living abroad for many years in the past. I finally settled down back home in 2001. I ...

How to make friends in Turin by expat.com
We have been talking about loneliness when you are abroad, let's now talk about how to make friends (locals or expatriates) when you're living in Turin :top: Which are your best tips to meet people and to make friends in Turin?? Thanks in advance ...
My advice is to contact anyone through blogs (me!!) and facebook who live in Torino or Piemonte. It's probably the easiest way to get to know people. As far as IWCT (International Women's Club of Torino), Unless you're a woman with nothing to do ... Read More
Do and don't in Italy by expat.com
Are you living in Italy? We need you to share your experience of the local customs :) Is it difficult to adjust to the local customs in Italy? Could you please share with us a list of the do's and don't's in Italy? Thanks!
