San Salvario the multiethnic heart of the city
San Salvario is one of the biggest residential
districts in Turin. The northern half of the
district still shows sign of degradation due to
the unusual social demographic, ethnic and
religious conditions of the people.
Yet, walking along its streets it is like
listening the multiethnic heart of the city, as
there are so many different communities
Italians, Romanians, people from South Africa,
Somalia, Nigeria.

In San Salvario Muslims live side by side with
Jews and Waldenses.
There are approximately 1.100 Jews in Turin. The
Jews community is very active politically,
culturally, and socially. The heart of the
community is at the synagogue in P.Levi Square

delegates for four days to work towards
increasing small-scale, traditional, and

ALMA MATER an intercultural centre for women
Alma Mater was founded in 1993, thanks to funding
from the city of Torino.
In this Centre immigrants women can met up,
exchange experiences and socialize with Italian
women. They can also get on with working
activities. Alma mater is a beautiful
construction built in the XIX century, situated
in Barriera di Milano a quarter the North of
Turin, where there is a great concentration of
immigrants. It conveys the idea of beautiful
and dignity that is rarely found in buildings
occupied by the immigrant community.
