Arco del Valentino


Some time ago I posted the night, back view of this Arch (cfr. HERE) and now I took a detail of the front. It is at entrance of Valentino's Park (see background). This is the Monument to Artillery Force by Pietro Canonica (1930)

Parecchio tempo fa pubblicai una foto notturna e posteriore dell'Arco del Valentino (cfr. QUI) e ora ecco il dettaglio della parte anteriore. E' posto all'ingresso del Parco del Valentino (cfr. sfondo). Questo รจ il Monumento all'Arma di Artiglieria di Pietro Canonica (1930)

    Is this to do with the siege of Turin, Fabrizio? I'm afraid my Italian history is rather hazy.

    Thank you Virginia and, for sure, I hope you will be able not far to pass through it !

    Linda, no, I'm sorry but this is simply a monument to Artillery force. Then it's quite "new". It has been built in fact in 1930

Torino was the first Capital of Italy, the city that hosted XX Olympic and IX Paralympic Winter Games and Torino Daily Photo is the first photo blog of the city --- I am sorry but due the spam comments, anonymous users are not allowed...
