Torino? We know it as Turin.

 

One of the nice things about the Italians is that they insist on their city names being used in THEIR language internationally. So do the Chinese, or at least they're trying to. Look at what the wogs call Florence? Firenze! (I hope that's right Antonio :grin: ) Firenze has Brio and Spark! Florence sounds like a pooftah's dog!!!!!

As it happen, Florence is a girl's name in French...

 

at least guys, you don't have cities that change names depending what part of the country you're travelling in...

In Belgium, if you happen to start in Antwerp, going to "Liege", it's named as "Luik" in flemish and there are no indications of "Liege" there...

Same goes if you start in, let say Namur, going to "Kortrijk", as the boards will only show "Courtrai"...
