Saturday I visited with my husband Turin, historic Italian city full of squares, majestic palaces, churches and museums.
We walked all day, visited lovely shops, fascinated by this elegant and beautiful city: : the Mole, which inside contains the wonderful National Museum of Cinema, Piazza Castello, il Duomo di San Giovanni e la Cappella della Sacra Sindone, Piazza Carlo Felice, via Roma, Piazza San Carlo, via Garibaldi, Piazza Vittorio Veneto, il Palazzo Reale, Palazzo Madama, la Basilica di Superga and we finished our day with a nice walk along the river Po.
We drank coffee and "bicerin" (very sweet drink made of coffee, chocolate and cream) in one of the famous bars in the city and had lunch in a square where he held a cooking competition tasting excellent typical Piedmont dishes: pasta with beans, Tomino sauce and green peppers with "ajà sauce", typical garlic sauce of this region. 
In the evening we had dinner with mushrooms and fine wine: Barbera, Nebbiolo, Barolo and Grignolino.
Leave Turin was not easy: it welcomes you and captivates with its elegance and majesty, with all its history that is breathed in every corner of the city. We came back home with a serenity that few cities can transmit, with the promise to visit it again very soon.
