Live Cams in Turin

Turin opens up from Piazza Castello, the square where Via Roma and Via Po begin and where the city has staged its public life since the House of Savoy. The cameras take in Palazzo Madama, whose baroque façade hides a medieval castle and a Roman gate behind it, and the Mole Antonelliana — the 167-metre tower that was meant to be a synagogue, became the National Cinema Museum, and still appears on the Italian two-cent coin. A fourth view leaves the city for Villar Perosa, in the Chisone valley an hour to the west. Turin runs on Central European Time: mornings bring traffic under the arcades, the baroque fronts are floodlit after dark, and on clear winter days the Alps stand along the whole western horizon.
