Porta Nuova — Local services in Turin

The name "Porta Nuova" is due to the name of the new southern gate of 1620 , due to the first expansion of the historic center of Turin towards the so-called "Città Nova", or rather the urban expansion wanted above all towards the south by Carlo Emanuele I of Savoy . In fact, the ancient southern gate of via Santa Teresa at the corner of via San Tommaso (called "Porta Marmorea") was demolished at the beginning of the 14th century , the first masonry "Porta Nuova" of 1620 was only temporary, located between the current Piazza Carlo Felice and the initial stretch of the so-called Via Nuova (today's Via Roma ).

Great station, trains and routes, beautiful building, amazing stores. BUT, the worst passenger services in the world! If you need to go to the toilet (which are only two of them by the way, from what some worker told me), you have to buy something from a store. And they give you a printed qr code, which you can use ONLY ONCE! Good luck if you have to wait here for a train for a few hours. That's how I ended up spending like 15 euro just to buy bottles of water that I had to throw away, so my wife and I can go to the toilet for a few times. Great waste of money, plastic and paper Torino! Also, it would have been worth it if the toilets were clean, but they stink and are awful. Ruined my...
