A little advertisement for Turin (Torino) which is a related topic. Often missed by tourists,Turin comes off as a small upscale American city with lots of shopping.
Attached to the Royal Palace is the chapel built to house the shroud. Both are spectacular, the Chapel of the Shroud is a sublimely beautiful design. Everything recently restored as if brand new.
They also have an Egyptian museum second only to the one in Cairo and again modern and clever design.
Turin sort of reminds me of visiting the great museums in New York City, as they and the city existed 60 years ago.
The shroud, naturally enough, was on tour in the United States when we were in Turin.
Thanks for the info.
