Located just below the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, Aswan's 275,00 people include a large portion of Nubians – mostly resettled from their flooded homeland.

The first capital of modern Italy, Turin now serves as the capital of Italy's Piedmont region, making up the northwestern part of the country. Famous for hosting the 2006 Winter Olympics and today known as the World Book Capital, the city is also characterized by grand baroque architecture, palaces, churches, museums, and art galleries.
