06/02 @ Turino /Italy - wandering city center & Parco del Valentino

Chisea della Gran Madre di Dio

Superga Basillica

the best place to view Alpes, however, visibility was not so great.

My Italian friend Roberto said it is not because of weather, 

because this region used to have a major vehicle manufacture industry,

so is air pollution.
