The Mole Antonelliana, 167m high, is the symbol of the city of Turin. It is named for the architect, Alessandro Antonelli, who designed it in 1863 as a synagogue, then the project was changed. The building was completed 26 years later, after the architect's death. Nowadays it houses the National Museum of Cinema. A glass-walled lift soars up to a viewing platform 85m up on the spire of the building: from there the panorama over the city and towards the Alps is wonderful.

Your perspective of it showcases the magnificent architecture of this building.
The blue flowers against the blue sky are beautiful. I would have thought the flowers would be lost but they aren't - love it Pietro!
Beautiful angle!
Have a great weekend :)

I am glad you like my morning photo. I can see that you wake up very early indeed, 5.14 am!! I have the bad habit to go sleep at midnight or 1:00 am... Here it's 00:22 am and I am at Internet...Lol!
Have a nice weekend as well!
I have been in Torino once, but that was years ago, I don't even remember well.
Sai, la prima volta che sono salita sulla Mole, un secolo fa:-) mi sono sentita subito a casa.
Magnifiche sempre le tue foto.
Thanks for sharing, Pietro. :)
The second shot is wonderful,t oo. I like the way the light comes through the blossoms.
Purtroppo si, incominceranno a "sconquassare" le nostre alture e non solo...
Buon fine settimana :-)

How are you doing this weekend?
I went to see fireworks.
They were so beautiful.
I hope there are a lot of beautiful picture.
By the way the best color for me is sky blue. I mean it's pale and bright like water.
So I like this flower.
The pale sky blue looks pure.
The forgetmenot blue of the stately larkspur flowers together with the summer sky is marvelous.
I hope it's a sunny day in Italy today.
In Japan it's raining.
it was good it didin't rain last night.
Because if it rained, we could'n've seen fire works!
Un saluto serale per augurarti anche un buon inizio settimana!
ps: sono riuscita ad installare i plugin mancanti ,grazie del link
Wonderful shots! The Molle is quite impressive and the blue flowers are excellent on that sky!!
Blogtrotter is back to the «urban jungle», which Reykjavik is far from being... ;)). Enjoy and have a fabulous week!
Sky Blue for sure!
Oh, that's too bad the weather was bad.
In Japan, it's sunny when you go out or somehing, we say " My attitude is good. that's why it's sunny. " Or " I work hard everyday. So you enjoy going out on a brilliant sunny day. thank to me. " or something.
Do you say that?:)
of course they're joking. we say them and enjoy talking to others.
It was a really hot day in Tokyo.
but this summer we have too much rain. so we're worried vegetable haven't grown.
by the way I really like talking with other countries' people. Because I can find the difference.
Thank you for telling me about your country.
I like talking with you:)
Have a lovery week ahead:)
Buona notte, Piero :-)
And I don't do diets. :) I run.
The Mole monument at Turin is magnificent. The blue blossoms against the blue sky in the background is awesome.

Grazie dei tuoi gentili commenti.
Interesting that the building was supposed to be a synagogue originally.
but the cornflowers against this gorgeous sky take the price in my heart!
