Turin’s long walks

I love to go for long walks along the historical center of Turin.
I try to get used to find special things in normal places that I see very day.
Art, at the end, is in the eyes of the photographer.
In this portfolio of Turin there is a miscellaneous collection of pictures and images taken during my walks testing and learning how to use my Canon 450D at its best.
We start from ‘Mt. dei Cappuccini’ where the view of Turin is magnificent and where is possible to admire the symbol of the city called ‘Mole Antoneliana’. It was built as a Hebraic Synagogue but today it hosts the ‘Museum of Cinema’.
Just below the hill it stands the Church ‘Gran Madre di Dio’ in Turin (Great Mother of God) one of most mysterious places in town, one of my favorite spots for a photo.
One of the statue, as visible in the pictures below, has in hand a glass that, according to esoteric tradition is a signal an image of the presence in the city of the Holy Grail.
Never forget that the Holy Shroud has been always in Turin and no one will even try to take it out, believers or not.
The other photos was taken in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, Via Po, Piazza San Carlo, Via Pietro Micca, Piazza Solferino.
