The mediaeval bell tower of very Baroque church. Today we are in Turin. It was pouring with rain and raincoats were worn. All very uncomfortable walking around the city. First off, the royal palace. Now my appetite for overstuffed, over decorated mid-Victorian rooms is limited and I was bored. However after two hours we moved on to the Gallery Sabauda which was a distinct improvement. Rembrandt, Veronese, van Eykh and Rembrandt. Not a bad lot. We separated for lunch and I went to the Royal Library. A nice exhibition about Roman inscriptions and a computer showing off their da Vinci drawings rather well.
Sorry about the reflection.
After lunch, inspection of various churches.
Including a mediaeval bell tower attached to a very Baroque church - rather horrible in fact. But the tower is nice. By this time the sun had come out and it was quite warm.
I have been keeping an eye open for textiles. There were a lot in the palace.
Some Jacquard silk on the walls.
