"Expats in Turin often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as Italian is the primary language spoken in the city. Additionally, the pace of life in Turin is much slower than in many other cities, and expats may find it difficult to adjust to the slower pace. The local cuisine can also be a challenge for expats, as it is quite different from what they may be used to. Finally, the local customs and etiquette can be difficult to understand, and expats may find it difficult to fit in with the locals," replied an expat in Turin.

"The claustrophobia of living so close to others, the small living accommodations, and tight spaces. Even the parks are small. And are only built to fit preschool sized children. Hard to find places for older kids to play outside. I think elementary school children must stay locked in their apartments when they aren't at school. The crime: all the door locking, alarms, bars on the windows of peoples bedroom even in the suburbs," remarked one in Torino.
