I was in Turin in mid March and I really didn't enjoy the city centre at all. I'd hardly stepped out of the train station and someone tried to grab my bag. I was warned about this so was prepared. I elbowed the guy roght on the face and him and his pal ran off round the corner. I stood and watched them then go on to follow 2 elderly ladies. I am sure they would attempt to take one of their bags too. Further in to the city, I was aware of being surrounded by 3 males whist looking in a shoe shop window. One lad came extremely close to me while the other two made their way at my back. I shouted, rather swore at them in Italian . In the reflection in the window, I had noticed then nodding and signalling to each other, but they made out they were not together. My daughter was with me and she's not as gutsy as me and wanted us to make our way back to where we were staying in Bardonecchia. All of the guys looked eastern European as opposed to Italian, but I must admit it did spoil our day as well as making me spit with rage.
P.S I wasn't impressed with the shopping either to crown it all!!!!
