Would I Go Back To Turin?

As I said Turin was very disappointing and only if an event like a football match was taking place, in which I was interested, would I go.

I nearly ended up in Turin several years ago.  In this post about Venice, I start with.

I’ve been to Venice many times, including once at New Year and another time to give a software demonstration at Verona.  The latter ended in my giving someone a tour of Venice in the dark.  As he had left before first light in the morning, I suspect he’s one of the few people to have seen the city, but not in the light.

But that is only part of the story of the software demonstration.

I had done the presentation in Cambridge and one of the attendees there had worked for the Department of the Environment. He asked if I would like to do the presentation to some Italian civil servants in Turin on the day after the August Bank Holiday. At the last minute it was switched to Verona, so I never got to Turin!

After the Verona meeting the Department of the Environment man, was driving to Rome to see other Italian officials and then meet his wife for a holiday. Hence the reason we ended up in Venice, as after all is there a better place to stay in that part of Italy.

One other memory of that trip was being given a large handful of lira or was it euros for expenses.

So I made a good profit on the trip.
