Turin or Torino

If you've been wondering about this like I have, I finally have a definitive answer. Is this years host city of the Winter Olympics called Turin or Torino? Well, both are correct. Turin is the official 'anglicized' translation of the actual Italian word/name Torino. So, if you want to be 100% correct and use the Italian name then Torino is for you. If you want to be hip with most of the media then you will follow their style guides and use the official anglicized word Turin. Here is an article that will probably explain it better than I did.
