Houses of the Piazza Vittorio Veneto, designed in 1825 by architect Giuseppe Frizzi, and the Mole Antonelliana (1889, 167m high) by architect Alessandro Antonelli.
I imagine the rest of the square with the same lines of architesture. Maybe some arches, no ? The museum inside the Mole Antonelliana is certainly very interesting. Have a good Sunday, Piétro. Maybe the sky won't stay as blue as the one in your picture.
Looks like home sweet home (smile*) I have a very simple little digital camera a Sony Cybershot T300. I use the automatic settings and am very happy with this thing, because it is so small and easy to carry around and the pictures usually are very good for such a little camera.
ciao Pietro, molto bello il nuovo look, mi hai chiesto che macchina fotografica uso :anlogica ho una nikon f 50 e digitale ho una compatta, ma voglio prendermi una reflex, tu sai consiglirmene una ? ti ringrazio .Buona domenica sotto la pioggia.
Before coming to your journal Pietro, a few of my italian friends from other parts of the country had told me that Turin was an ugly, industrial city with unfriendly people. But, from everything I’ve seen here I would beg to disagree. I started enjoying Torino’s “hidden” treasures with your observations and lovely photos. I think Torinesi people should be so joyous:) One day I want to feel the charm of its glorious past as first capital of Italy strolling piazzas like Vittorio Veneto. Torino e' sempre + bella:)
Wow! What a wonderful photo of Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the Mole Antonielliana! Just amazing this tower and the building architecture. Really, I would love so much visiting your city! Looks so beautiful!
Thanks for your comment. I took the wheat field photo on the road to Avaré (the city near my house about 50 km). If you have the time, please, take a look to another photos of this same place on that link:http://leavesgrass.blogspot.com/2007/09/wheat-fields.html
Regarding the camera I use, yes, I do take pictures with a digital SRL-camera, a Nikon D80 (which I would not recommend due to the fact that it is very suceptible to dust collecting on the mirror - a result of the lenses themselves leaving tiny abrasions which then accumulate, a very annoying thing and costly too. I am very disappointed that Nikon got away with such shoddy work! The newer models have automatic dust cleaners, or whatever this is called, so I feel really cheated, my camera is only one year old).
Many of my best pictures, though, I have taken with my little Lumix camera, which has a fantastic Leica lens!
Before February 2008, all I used was my Sony Cybershot, the cheapest version of them all. I loved it and its Zeiss lens! Unfortunately, I then got greedy and bought that Nikon. Wished I had gotten the Sony DSRL!
Prior to my venture into digital photography (which came when I moved to Vienna and left the darkroom behind in DC), I photographed in black and white, doing my own developing and silver-gelatin printing: I miss that!
Although I have lived almost ten years in Rome, I never made it to Torino. What a shame!
Oh, your site makes me long to be back in Italy. I haven't traveled abroad in several years, but seeing your photos brings all of the sites, sounds, and tastes rushing back to me.
This coal mine is more than a gloomy place ! it's horrible ! In 1956, 274 people died in there because of a fire, amongst them 136 Italians. Sometimes all male members of one family !! Belgium once exchanged coal against Italian workers. I visited this place and will write post about it when I have time. Fortunately this day the sun was shining and the sky blue, otherwise it would have been even more depressing !

1825 - How impressive to have withstood the test to time. I love the tower - very majestic!
