Piazza full of life, Great place to sit and watch Torino go by. Also some good views; on the one side you can look down via Po all the way down to the Gran Madre (where the holy Grail is supposed to be buried) on the other side you have a great view on to the snowy tops of the alps. Some really nice historical buildings on and near the square.

Beautiful as whole Torino. And when you look like a lost turist then many people want to help you even if you don't ask them even if you don't speak italian and they don't speak english they still want to be helpful;)

Delightful place. Nothing amazing when contrasted with some of the other delights that Torino and the surrounding area has to offer, but beautiful in and of itself and definitely worth a stop by.

tres belle architecture des batiments de tres bons restaurants, de belles boutiques et des gens sympas
