My trip to Turin in the company of my best friend Angelo, ended just yesterday.
Although we did not do anything special, I still have to say that I spent quite well.
What I did on the first day (ie Saturday, December 1), I have already written in a previous discussion.
But I have not yet said how I spent the next day!
Well, then we left in the morning, and as expected we reached a town called Racconigi (which is just 38 km from Turin).
Waiting for them, there was Angela, an old friend, with whom I and Angelo (excuse the turn of phrase), we spent together, the New Year's Eve 2009-2010.
We will want to have lunch at the restaurant, but she told us that she already had prepared lunch. This is because we had already warned of our visit the day before.
Lunch and talk, we pulled up at 14.00.
At that hour passed our train, I and Angelo would lead to our house.
So we said goodbye to Angela (the train tracks) so we closed this short Turin experience duration just two days.

It is so nice to have such wonderful adventures. and it is even better if you will meet again an old friend you have not seen for a long time. This is very good for you Alberello. I have a stup!d question... Is this Turin has in relation to the Holy Shroud of Turin?

Well, your answer is correct, in fact, Turin is the city that houses the Holy Shroud.
This fact is the main attraction of the city. Let us not forget, however, that in Turin, there is also the Egyptian Museum, the Mole Antonelliana and the hill of Superga. Places, all of which are worth a visit.

Well, the Holy Shroud, whose exposure to the public are called "ostensions", was made to visit only a few times in the course of history.
The years which took place precisely these ostensions are: 1978, 1998, 2000 and 2010.
I personally, just in another time where I was in Turin in 2010, I saw it "from afar."

Wow. .simply amazing and intriguing holy shroud of turin. Have you seen it? I want to see that some day although, it has been studied and result turned out to be not true. Sad, but I still want to see it. And yes, the Egyptian Museum, never seen an Egyptian Museum yet ever in my life. That could be nice as we all know the Egypt was an early civilization. This is great Alberello, sharing to us the other part of the world. Thanks. good morning.

Sounds like who had a pretty good time in Turin, would love to visit there sometime. What are your favorite aspects about the city, and is it a scenic place?

Well, anyone who travels to Turin, I think that does not leave the city without visiting at least: The Mole Antonelliana and the Egyptian Museum, as well as many ancient churches. In respect of the Holy Shroud, it is not always possible to see it, because it is exposed only at certain times (or better to say, in certain years. Last was in 2010)

Well, from what you describe, it seems that Turin is the city where you live, is it by chance?
However, the experience, though short was beautiful. Especially when we met with the members of the association "non-violence"

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i am glad to know that your short trip to Turin has just ended and what else could have been better when you have your best friend by your side during the journey.
Although i have never heard about Turin and Racconigi, i would definitely like to give these places a visit in the future so as to know more about them. Thankfully u got another friend during the journey and i am sure this short journey will always become memorable and special for u.
What say?

Well, the experiences, both positive and negative, in all ways always leave a memory. After all, as you emphasized in your comment, when I go on a journey, in the company of my best friend, the experience is always positive.
This friend Angelo is really the best for me, if I have traveled to many places, I must first thank him only!
