A few weeks ago I asked this list about milongas in Turin, Italy. I received
numerous responses which enabled me to find 2 milongas I could attend during
my short 4 day stay in Turin last week. I went to the L'arca milonga on
Wednesday and the Salon de Tango on Corso de Sicilia on Saturday.  There is
an excellent website

http://www.aaanetsev.com/tango/tangoitalia.html

which lists most milongas. I also received an e-mail from Piero Leli
([email protected]) which informed me of other milongas not listed on the
website.

Turin is a great tango city! It is possible to attend a milonga every night
of the week except Monday. Attendance is high, filling each dance hall, but
not so much that it prohibits normal movement. There are many very good
dancers (which keeps movement going smoothly along the line-of-dance). Even
though I do not speak Italian, I was welcomed warmly by the community
(numerous people speak some English, some are fluent). I even caught the end
of a lesson in canyengue on Wednesday which was very interesting.

I would like to thank the Turin tango community for their warm welcome. If
you travel to northwestern Italy (or if you're planning a tango tour of
Europe), do not miss the milongas in Turin!!
