Turin - Districts: the building blocks of the city

quartieri.torino.it was a portal dedicated to the districts of Turin: the archive's first snapshot, from 24 May 2003, presented sections on news from the districts, cultural news, markets, history, museums and fairs of Turin, as well as profiles of individual districts, including Aurora, Barriera di Milano, Borgo Po, Centro, Crocetta, San Salvario and Vanchiglia; its office was at via Giacomo Susa 32/A in Turin.¹

In the January 2009 snapshot the site, by then with its office moved to via Trivero 7, had added a section called «Accadde a Torino» ("It happened in Turin") and tourist information on hotels, restaurants and transport; a page from the same period told the story of the city starting from the Roman founding of Augusta Taurinorum, with text credited to the site a-torino.com.²³

In the last snapshot with content, from May 2026, the site kept the list of districts but mainly offered advertising space, with a new phone number and an individual VAT number.⁴ The domain name quartieri.torino.it has been registered since 12 March 2003, with validity paid until 12 March 2027.⁵

The portal quartieri.torino.it from 2003 to 2026

The portal quartieri.torino.it, online since at least May 2003, presented itself as an amateur guide to the districts of Turin, with sections on news, the city's history, markets, museums and Turinese sayings.

In the latest known snapshot, from May 2026, the site was still online with sections on useful numbers, famous people and photo and panoramic galleries of the city.

Over twenty years online

The site quartieri.torino.it, online since at least May 2003, presented itself as a portal dedicated to the districts of Turin, with a page for each of the 23 city districts and zones listed (from Aurora and Barriera di Milano to Vanchiglia), alongside sections on markets, history, museums and the city's transport; in 2003 the editorial office was based at via Giacinto Susa 32/A in Turin.¹

In 2025 the site described itself as "an idea by Giorgio Maltese" and was still online, with the same list of districts, more than twenty years after its first publication; in 2026 the web archive still recorded crawls of it, with content almost identical to that of 2025.²³
