Turin warning
I was the victim of a robbery friday 9th june my motorcycle jacket was taken from my bike with myself and my partner stood next to it, a very slick fast robbery, i have been travelling independently around africa europe and the near east by motorcycle for 35 years and this is my first serious robbery, the previous 14 days i had visited east germany,poland ukraine serbia roumania,croatia but turin was by far the least safe place , my italian contacts all agree turin has definite no go zones, 4 blocks around porta nouva train station and the river area between the bridges umberto 1 and vittorio emmanuelle.They got my wallet,passport,credit cards,camera and a 1880 print of Popes essays on man. The police were polite and i have a report ,british consul supplied me with an emergency passport(£100),informed insurance and now on my way home
