SensInBorgo: A sensory journey in the heart of Gassino

SensInBorgo is the event that, every spring, awakens the senses and emotions in the historic center of Gassino Torinese, a town in the Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont. The concept behind the event is simple yet powerful: to bring life, people, and activities into the ancient heart of the village, showcasing corners, courtyards, and streets that often go unnoticed even by the locals themselves.

An open-air trail through alleys and squares

Throughout the event, Piazza Antonio Chiesa, Piazza Sampieri, and the alleys of the historic center turn into a large open-air itinerary, where every stop offers something unique. Visitors are encouraged to stroll at their own pace, guided by the scents, sounds, and colors that fill the urban space.

What to expect at SensInBorgo

• Street food and drinks: Gastronomic stalls distributed throughout the squares and streets of the village.
• Live music: Performances and concerts accompanying the event days.
• Traditional crafts: Demonstrations of local artisanal skills and traditions.
• Wooden games: Activities and entertainment for families and children.
• Plants and flowers: Displays that color and perfume the historic center.

One of the most beloved highlights is the special afternoon snack of bread and chocolate distributed by the bakers of Gassino, a gesture that perfectly captures the community spirit of the event.

An event by the Municipality and the Pro Loco

SensInBorgo is organized by the Municipal Administration of Gassino Torinese together with the Pro Loco Gassino Tourist Association, with the invaluable contribution of local associations, volunteers, musicians, and exhibitors. It is this network of collaboration that makes the village come alive and confirms, edition after edition, Gassino's commitment to using its historic center as a space for gathering and celebration.
