G.O.A.T.
NBC is advertising it as Torino because the head honcho at NBC thought Torino sounds more "Italian" than Turin


Beth
The way it is said/spelled in English and Italian. I don't know which is which though :)


nickisbox
what others have said about turin being english name and torino italian is correct. in regards to the olympics, it is torino bc it is tradition for the hosting city to be billed by its native name and not the international translation.


canukinsocal
Turin in the English pronounciation. Torino is the Italian. They are the same place in northern Italy.

same place, just pronounced differently apparently. I learned something new - didn't know that till I read this question & it sparked my interest - I looked it up! lol
It's Torino in Italian, Turin in Piedmontese (whatever language that may be).


jeff26k
nothing, they are the same place.

Turin is the international translation for Torino, the real Italian name of the town.

I'll just echo what everyone else has been saying: Turin is the English pronunciation and Torino is the Italian. I personally like Torino because it's more musical. But it's up to you which to use, really. As for the Piedmontese pronunciation, "Turin" (which someone referred to earlier), that's really interesting since Italy has so many dialects, some of which borrow words or pronunciations from other languages. My guess is that Piedmontese might sound a little French. How do the French pronounce Turin/Torino?
