TURIN, is the capital of Gelatti, ( not prepared in same manner as icecream, and it in actuality is French, and stems from Venetian Catherine Dimichi who was married to King Henri IV and the excellence of their Pastries.

The BAGNA CAUDA is a traditional appetiser, which signifies red and Golden yellow peppers and garlic.

This dish, is served in a large terracotta or clay vessel and is a communal dish similar in the serving style of a Swiss or French Fondue.

The dipping of vegetables is done on New Year´s Eve, as is the Swiss and French Fondue.

The veggies employed are simply, bell pepper slices of choice, carrots, leek, fennel .. 

THE WORD BAGNA DENOTES  " BATH "  so, the Caldo or Cagna ( the creamy liquid ) must be served very hot ..

It is quite a wonderful get together recipe ..  And dates back to ancient times.
