It's two hours by train to Milan (home of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper"), 30 miles from France and adjacent to the Alpine skiing paradise known as the Milky Way.
It's Italy with a Parisian twist: wide boulevards, arcade-lined streets and a flourishing cafe culture. (French is the second language.) Turin's climate supports the lifestyle most of the year, but winters are cold and damp. It could be 28 and snowy one day, 45 and sunny the next.
The Holy Shroud (sindone in Italian) is sealed away in the Duomo di San Giovanni, a 15-minute walk west of the Piazza Castello.
