One of the most unusual constructions in Turin, the "slice of polenta" is the result of a series of coincidences. A 37m space on Corso san Maurizio occupied by a wedge shaped three storey building, bought in 1859 by Francesca Scaccabarozzi, wife of the architect Alessandro Antonelli (1798-18888). In 1881, the architect added two floors and an attic, raising the total height to 27m, identical to the length. The façade of the building is only 5m wide, while the thin end of the wedge is a mere 70cm.

Un saluto Pietro e buona serata.

The architecture and colour of the building on the 3# photo is beautiful. On the last photo, the building is only a facade? I mean there is no space on it?
Love when you show up photos of Turin!
Very funny the name "slice of polenta". By the way, I like so much polenta.
Great captures and angles Pietro.
Have a wonderful day.
Buona giornata, gentile Pietro.
ps. oltre che spagnolino a Napoli si usa anche "cerasiello" :-)

Excellent !
Je n'ai jamais vu cela avant, Piétro. Et la façon de le présenter m'amuse beaucoup.
Innovative design to build such a landmark on a minimum spot! It should be the important symbol that makes Torino stand apart from other Italian cities, no? I enjoy this mathematical tour in Torino and interesting shots from every face:)
Have a lovely day~
Appropriately named!
che sorpresa!!! Gli italiani hanno grande capacitá inventiva:)). A prima vista mi sembrava veramente un bel edificio dipinto con colori del sole. É tanto vero il detto che accanto ad un eroe c'é sempre un' eroina. Le tue foto sono eccezionali!
Ti invio un grande abbraccio
enjoy your weekend.
Speruma bin...
ps.è una vita che nn vado alla pellerina, prima ci portavo il cane a correre, ma adesso dobbiamo riguardarci entrambi:-)
Buon venerdi
Vedi Pietro che per essere una napoletana a Torino sono informata?:-)
Have a nice weekend!
;-D
