this daring and ingenious construction of nineteenth-century architecture, the history of
antonelli´s dream and most glorious achievement, the
mole, as it is familiarly known by turin inhabitants, dates back to 1862 when the jewish community in turin purchased the site in via montebello (then the "contrada" of the "cannon dóro") and decided to erect a synagogue to celebrate their emancipation by carlo alberto, explains a leaflet available in the entrance room of the building. mole antonelliana nowadays hosts a breathtaking elevator to the top of the building and a partly strange cinema museum.

tourists, who stroll through the center of turin might get aware of a sophisticated building, the so called atrium, which stands for the new city planning of an "old" industrial town. all this is atrium torino, a project carried out by the city council, in cooperation with the province of turin and of toroc committee, designed by giugiaro architettura, in order to present both the events leading up to the 20th turin olympic winter games of 2006, and to illustrate the changes of the city and the region of the sorrounding area. due to their mammoth extent in time and in space, these changes will echo well after the end of the sporting event, writes the
official atrium website.
heute, wo die indes versinkt die stadt in diversen baugruben und läßt so nur erahnen, was das touristische potential der stadt sein könnte. auch eine u-bahn soll bis olympia 2006 fertiggestellt werden und alles wird (möglicherweise) anders werden: wenn sich die planer nur nicht getäuscht haben! wer indes schon heute seine karten und sündteure wie unnütze souvenirs besorgen möchte, der kann dies bereits im fertiggestellten fremdenverkehrszentrum der stadt, dem

alternative media will be a main feature of the fifth world social forum. shared knowledge, live video and audio transmissions, photos, tv and radio forums and free knowledge laboratories will show the world what is happening at the 5 wsf. here is

special session of the united nation´s general assembly on the holocaust than the fact that the holocaust happened.

the magazine of
air dolomiti made sauseschritt aware of this city attraction:
luci d´artista: this plein-air exhibitio of contemporari art offers installation set up at piazzas all across the city; among the works on display, a new installation by the turin-born artist nicola de maria that lights up piazza carlo emanuele II. simultaneously with luci d´artisto, piazza san carlo is hosting
manifesTO, an open-space exhibition of contemporary art: 44 large-format posters that transform the piazza into an event-site.
