A little bit of general knowledge about Turin 😉.

Turin was once the capital of Italy.

After that, it became Florence, and finally Rome, which still reigns today.

Piazza San Carlo ("Saint Charles"), previously known as Piazza Reale, Piazza d'Armi and Place Napoleon, is one of the main city squares in Turin, Italy. It was laid out in the 16th and 17th centuries and is an example of Baroque style.

In the center of the square is an equestrian statue of Emmanuel Philibert from 1838 by Carlo Marochetti, which is flanked by porticoes designed by Carlo di Castellamonte around 1638. The twin churches of Santa Cristina and San Carlo Borromeo close the southern edge of the square.
