Mausoleo della Bela Rosin

First of all Torino Daily Photo is back :-) --- So today I'm going to introduce to the Bela Rosin Mausoleum. "Bela Rosin" is literally: "Beautiful Little Rosa" and it's not Italian but Piedmontese dialect. It's a copy (eighth-scale) of the Pantheon (Rome) and it was built by the sons of Rosa Vercellana (called Bela Rosin - see Wikipedia in English Here) that was lovers and wife of the first King of Italy: Vittorio Emanuele II.

Prima di tutto Torino Daily Photo e con lui chi scrive, ha terminato le sue corte vacanze. La foto di oggi concerne il Mausoleo della Bella Rosin (Piemontese, pronuncia: Bela Rusin - "u" di "uva") = Bella Rosina. Venne fatto costruire in copia al Pantheon (pare in scala 1:8) dai figli di Rosa Vercellana (cfr. Wikipedia Qui) che fu amante e moglie morganatica (di condizione sociale inferiore) del primo Re d'Italia: Vittorio Emanuele II.
