A latex template for the master thesis at the University of Torino

Master thesis template for the Univeristy of Torino

Hey guys ! Since I was not really satisfied by any of the templates online for the thesis, and our university has no defined template I decided to write one by myself.

Hope is helpful to anyone to save some time!

It was written from scratch with the help of many guides/tamplates found on the web, so feel free to modify and distribute it

One last warning

This template is thinked to be used for a thesis written in english, so no effort was put in the integration of features typical of italian (e.g. return at the beginning of the chapter). If you do a modification in that sense please do a pull request !

So enjoy and good luck !
