TORETS ARE THE SYMBOL OF TURIN, LET'S KEEP IT TIGHT!

Like the Cri-Cri and the Mole, the Torets are only found here and nowhere else in the world. They are as old as the Unity of Italy and in the city you can find more than 800 ... they will always give you a free drink. Let's take care of it together!

Almost two centuries of love and fresh water

With those unmistakable horns and the typical bottle green, the Torets are the historic fountains symbol of Turin. In the city you will find more of them than kebab shops and pizzerias, just look around and they will be there, ready to give you a sip of fresh and free water. They have a history that has spanned more than 150 years, they have seen monarchies and governments fall without ever batting an eye. You will find them only here, why not organize a trip on purpose to come and see them?

Especially after years of a thirst-quenching career."

Put the Toret back!

The time has come to put the Torets back in their place!

From the 2012 municipal project to replace the Torets, fortunately never completed, there are still two stone fountains in the wonderful Piazza Carlo Alberto. With our project "Put the Toret back!" we asked the municipality of Turin to replace them with real Torets, to restore the square's historical, architectural and symbolic value, when the first Italian Parliament resided there.
