To mark Europe Day on May 9th, as part of Turin 2033’s candidacy for European Capital of Culture, the city organised a series of events focusing on the European values of peace, cooperation and shared culture. To celebrate the event, the Mole Antonelliana was lit up with the colours of the European flag and the Turin 2033 logo, offering the city a symbolic image of belonging, dialogue and shared identity.
Throughout the day, parked in Piazza San Carlo was the Civic Libraries Bibliobus, showcasing publications focusing on Europe, citizenship and cultural participation, as a way of encouraging reflection on the themes of inclusion, memory and the building of a shared future.
These initiatives were part of a series of events organised by Europe Direct Turin and the city’s candidacy for European Capital of Culture 2033, with the aim of strengthening bonds between the city and the European Union’s founding values.
