When you’ve just cross the frontier of Piedmont, where Alps reflected in rice fields, it’s became understood why only House Savoy was able to consolidate all Italy province under one sovereign. Center of Turin (streets, squares, churches and houses) is whole palace ensemble, created for ducal family and its national. There aren’t beggars, homeless and strays on the street. Professional musicians and opera singers make small performance under arcades. House Savoy vied with Versailles, today we thank them, visiting splendid Royal Palace. Royal art collections today calls Sabauda Gallery and locates in new interiors of Palace; I really enjoyed best Italian and Netherlandish artists (Botticelli, Filippino Lippi, Andrea Mantegna, Tiepolo, brothers Ferrari, Giovanni Bellini, Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, Jan van Eyck, Rembrandt, Anthony van Dyck). True heard of Turin is saved at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, but duplicate at each city churches. It’s Turin Shroud (Sindone di Torino). This relic is absolutely not “attraction”, but it’s must to see for believers and atheists. Turin Shroud is unique and maybe only evidence of Jesus of Nazareth, God for Christians and Messiah for Moslems. No more words.
