Abstract

Torino is a city with a long and miscellaneous history, reflected by its architecture: a surprising mix of baroque and neo classical palaces on the old roman-medieval structure. The Residences of the Royal House of Savoy (Unesco World Heritage Site since 1997) remind its citizens and visitors that it was the first capital of Italy. Today Torino is still an important cultural and business center, continuously oriented to the future ("Always on the move" was the motto of the 2006 Olympic Games, which took place on the surrounding Alps). It is site of many high tech industries (telecommunications, automotive, aerospace), two Universities, several research centers. ESEM 2014 shares this same view: looking far into the future from the robust shoulders of the past conference editions.
