Goodness what a lovely photo. I love the way the shadows are falling and the way the sun makes the buildings glow. I should really go and see the shroud sometime.

I have never seen it myself, even if I live very near. I guess is like this, when you live near something historically significant you feel no need to visit it XD
Sincerely, the amount of people visiting was scary, and I had no courage to face the queue area...

They do appear to be packed in there like sardines.

I'm so jealous of Europeans. Everywhere you go, wherever you live, there's so much fantastic history all around you.

Here in California, if it's 30 years old, its old.

150 years, its ancient history to us.

Older than that, and only the Native Americans were living here...

I adore my city and, beside politics, I really love Italy. But I'd be curious to visit the US because of what you said... people who visited here were amazed by the different style and lifestyle that there is. Differences are interesting

Catlike indifference?
Questa si chiama superiorità felina ;)

>: 3

Puoi fare tutti gli smiles che vuoi, ma vedrai che prima o poi quei cosi pelosi conquisteranno il mondo x3

Sarò forse stato una volta tempo fa a Torino, non ricordo neppure..

In realta' credo l'abbiano GIA' conquistato, e da tempo XD

Acc, ecco cos'è il sorrisetto sul muso della mia gatta ogni volta che la guardo... o.o

The cat is hilarious there lol. Pretty place, nothing like the replicas in Las Vegas. They do a good job, but it's nothing like the real deal here.

I stayed at the Venetian (and Ceaser's Palace the year before ) last time in Vegas and they would have preformers inside and outside dancing, playing insturments and what not and a mini indoor Gondola. Not the real thing, but certainly a good compromise .

The man in the Gondola was saying how it took 3 weeks to train him for that. I recall hearing that it took years to actualy train for it and you have to be born into a family for tradition sake. lol

Seriously, I love Italy. Thank you for the picture.

I have been on a Gondola years ago, when I was a kid. I like Venice, because is very peculiar with no roads and just water channels, but as we say here 'Venice is beautiful but I would not live there', mostly due to humidity XD

Fun Fact: Most people think that Venice, Rome and Naples are Italian cities with similar traits, while they're light-years different one from the other, and quite distant too!

Humidity is a fun thing isnt it? It's not too terrible up here in Minnesota. But we do live in the land of ten thousand mosquitos (per lake, I added that part :P ).

Indeed, I blame our education system. That's why I want to actualy go there. Like how I doubt the Coliseum is actualy haunted XD.

Prima pagina di Torino Cronaca del giorno seguente:

FECI DAVANTI ALLA SINDONE
DI GATTO, IGNORATE PER ORE DAGLI ADDETTI
L'orrore della curia: 'Decadenza non ha più limiti'

...e non sarebbe neppure il titolo peggiore che abbia letto su quel giornale. :-P

Torino Cronaca fa a botte con Cronaca Vera come Araldo del Pessimo Gusto! Non mi stupirei di trovarci un giorno un editoriale di Fede XD

Cronaca Vera per fortuna non lo conosco, ma dovranno impegnarsi a fondo per superare il numero di TC dove in prima pagina campeggiava il titolo "Mio figlio stuprato da Satana".
Comunque bella luce e colori nella foto. ^_^
