The city of Turin is located in north-western Italy, 120 kilometres west of the city of Milan.

King James III and VIII visited the city in 1717. On February 24 he was received by King Victor Amadeus of Sicily and his wife Queen Anne Marie (granddaughter of King Charles I), and then spent the night at the Castello di Moncalieri.
