Turin

Common description

Turin (Italian: Torino) - the capital of the province of Piedmont - is one of the most popular cities in Italy. Often the city is called the "capital of European Baroque", the hallmark of which is the famous Egyptian Museum. Turin is also famous for its symbol of luck, the unique National Museum of Cinematography and the incomparable risotto dish.

Numerous exhibitions, museums and galleries attract tourists from all over the world. If you are looking for the perfect place to have a good time, be sure to check out historic cafes or chocolate shops.
Turin means "bull" (from lat. Taurus), which is a symbol of the city. If you step on the stomach of a metal image of a bull engraved directly on the asphalt paths of the city, then expect great luck. True, if you step on another part of the body of the bull, then another cherished desire will be fulfilled, for example, marriage or the birth of a child in the family.
In Turin, in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, there is a religious shrine - the Shroud of Turin - a four-meter canvas, which, according to legend, wrapped the body of Jesus Christ after his death. Very rarely open a real shrine to the public. The last time it was shown in 2010.
