01/02/2007 - Magazine year XI - Num 1 - feb/may 2007

After the accomplishments of the 2006 Winter Olympics, it is difficult now for the city and its residents to slow the pace, and not to notice that new scenarios and new opportunities are appearing on the horizon of a Turin that is refining its appeal. Touristic, but also entrepreneurial.

THI, Turinese by definition, is a “victim” of this beneficial contagion as well. Now grown, for 2007 the company is honing its strategies, broadening its prospects, and expanding its assets. After hailing the first anniversary of the Golden Palace in Turin, the attention now turns to Genoa, where in September we will be inaugurating the Bentley Hotel, the luxury five-star that will restore brilliance to the hospitality of the Ligurian capital.

And that’s not all. While waiting for other initiatives to take concrete shape we are celebrating a bit of our history, by opening the festivities for the 250th anniversary of the Ristorante del Cambio, one of the landmarks of the Locali Storici d’Italia association. Until well into autumn the renowned restaurant will relive remnants of its history and be “spokesman” for both the Turin of old and the Turin of the future.

A pillar of venerable certainties, recent convictions and rosy-hued predictions.

Amato Ramondetti, THI President
