Torino – Train Station Photo Walk

Post by WildSnow.com blogger Lou Dawson | March 1, 2012

Covered sidewalk.

Rental bikes.

Train station.

Italian street corner chat room.

Snack.

Torino, typical building and environs.

Statues everywhere.

Ancient Roman stone walls give way to something slightly newer.

Tracks (actually not in Torino, but on the way north back to Austria.)

Study up on Turin at the Wiki.

If you made it this far let's lighten things up from the greyscale with a nice Italian desert offering. Any of you Italy experts know what this is?

Looks like that dessert has dark chocolate on it, but aside from that, I can’t name it.

Terrific, poetic photo essay – very enjoyable and with out those needless calories.

That dessert looks delicious, like many good Italian foods, it starts with good ingredients (for 4 persons):

150 gms torrone
1 egg white
100 gms sugar
200 gms cream to whip
2 tbsp toasted hazelnuts, chopped
1 pinch salt

made with one of the most popular Italian Christmas sweets: torrone
