Wiktionary examples

These source excerpts show how Turin appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.

  1. Turin, ce n’est pas vraiment l’Italie. Dans un pays qui possède tant et tant de villes séduisantes, le mot est presque un repoussoir. L’idée d’une industrialisation encombrante, et même la proximité réductrice de la frontière. En contrepoint se fomentent déjà l’idée d’être surpris en bien, le salubre espoir de renverser les archétypes.
  2. Celle des dialectes piémontais correspond à l’ancienne principauté de Piémont, acquise au Moyen Âge par les ducs de Savoie, puis devenue le cœur de leurs États : le transfert de la capitale de Chambéry à Turin date de 1562.
