This year the summer in Turin officially kicked off in April. However, as customary, we were all skeptical the warm temperatures would become normal, and this is how in May, they dropped again to suddenly reach 95F / 35C within a week.
And when the summer comes, Italians enjoy eating out with their friends, aperitif and apericena take a whole new meaning! This is especially true in Turin and Piedmont where the aperitif rite was born, as well as the most famous Italian cocktails, aperitifs, liqueurs and brands.
