Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day, so BJ and I decided to venture to the top of Mole Antonelliana. This amazing structure houses the Italian Cinema Museum and is one of the most iconic buildings in Torino. It is also only about four or five blocks from our dorms =)

| Our dorms are right behind the right side of the piazza in the middle (the open area in the picture) |
On Monday, while most of the city was closed due to the Italian Election Day, BJ, myself and a few friends went exploring. We actually stumbled upon some pretty amazing things!

| This is a beautiful indoor courtyard, with a few shops to browse |
The cathedral in the photos below is called the Turin Cathedral. In this church is where, it is believed, that the original shroud that covered Jesus when he was removed from the cross and placed in his tomb was stored. We were able to see where the shroud is stored, but it was covered with a red cloth for protection. Also, they do not allow photographs in that particular area of the cathedral.
