HELLO EVERYONE!<\/p>\n

Today I\u2019m going to share with all of you the experience of our weekend trip to Turin, Italy!<\/p>\n

During our study abroad program we have a couple of academic trips, one of them for this semester was going to Turin. Turin is located a couple of hours by train from Florence.<\/p>\n

As we arrived and walked the French-styles streets of Turin, from almost every spot, my eye was always caught by the most iconic symbol of this city, the Mole Antonelliana. Originally designed to be a synagogue, now hosts the Museo Nazionale Del Cinema. It is considered to be the tallest building in the world without steel reinforcement!<\/p>\n

We visited the Museo Nazionale del Cinema and being guided by our art history professor we experienced the evolution of film. With a maze-like and multi-level exhibition you are for sure not going to be bored. From pre-cinematographic optical devices, earlier and current film technologies, stage items from early Italian movies and interactive displays! After the tour we took an elevator that ran through the heart of the building all the way to the top. A breathtaking view of 360 degrees of the city was awaiting.\u00a0 This was definitely a highlight of the trip, with a view to the Italian Alps in the distance!<\/p>\n

The next day, we visited The Chapel of the Holy Shroud, a Baroque-style Roman Catholic chapel connected to the Palazzo Royale. \u00a0The chapel was constructed to house the\u00a0Shroud of Turin<\/a>, a religious\u00a0relic<\/p>\n

that many believe to be the burial shroud of Jesus. It\u2019s history and architecture are beautiful and very inspiring!<\/p>\n

This trip was culturally rich and if you ever have the chance to study in Italy, I definitely suggest you add this lovely city to your travel itinerary!<\/p>\n

Ciao, Maria<\/p>\n
