Piazza Vittorio, Piazza Castello, Piazza San Carlo, Piazza Carlo Emanuele II, Piazza Maria Teresa, Piazza Valdo Fusi, Piazza Reale, Piazza Cavour, Piazza Carlo Felice, Piazza C.L.N (?), Piazza Statuto, Piazza della Republica, Piazza Don Albera, Piazza Emanuele Filiberto, Piazza San Giovanni, Piazza Bodoni, Piazza Madama Cristina, Piazza Solferino, Piazza Carlo Alberto, Piazza Aldo Moro, Piazza LaGrange, Piazza Paleocara, Piazza Cesare Augusto...you get the idea. There are so many Piazzas in Torino that we could spend the entire two week visit trying to see them all.
One of the several important Piazzas is the Piazza Castello, right in the heart of the original Roman settlement
And we haven't even begun to mention the 35 plus museums and art galleries in Torino (we'll spare you the list). But it is worthwhile mentioning the Museo Egizio, which has the most extensive collection of Ancient Egyptian objects outside of Egypt. And there are innumerable Palazzos in the city which would take a lifetime to explore.
Our Italian studies take up most of the day, so we have to manage our time carefully so we can see and learn as much about the city as possible. Fortunately, the Italiano Porticando language school offers optional tours of the city's main sights; we're taking advantage of those special opportunities.
Ciao for today...David
