Malacarne in Torino in 1784 described a double aorta, and Hommelius mentions an analogous case.

"It's swell over there," said Fuselli, "everything's awful pretty- like. Picturesque, they call it. And the people wears peasant costumes.... I had an uncle who used to tell me about it. He came from near Torino." "Where's that?" "I dunno. He's an Eyetalian." "Say, how long does it take to git overseas?" "Oh, a week or two," said Andrews. "As long as that?"

It is, however, busy and industrious in its trade and commerce, and alive with factories; yet recent events have left very distinct traces in Turin, almost more so than in any other Italian city.
