This is also a perfect opportunity to learn Italian, living and working with our family and friends.

What else ...
During your free time you can explore Torino’s hills and the local village of Sciolze. Ocasionally We can also bring you in Torino to visit this charming monumental city, the local museums (Egyptian Museum, National Museum of Cinema, and many others), the Valentino park and Porta Palazzo: the largest market square in Europe.
Public transpot from here is not as good as it should be. So if you have a car it is better.
