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?
