Come with me if you want to live: Seeing the beautiful Turin and the museum of cinema

Good day to everyone. Last time we travelled from Milan to Turin. In Turin we had a football game booked for Saturday, but before that we had two days to discover the city. On our first day we went to Turin’s famous cinema museum. The museum is in the tallest building of the city Mole Antonelliana and it also has a viewing level where we could see the city. First two days there was some mist or something like that in the air so we couldn’t see too far, especially to the Alps.

Views from the top, but the horizon was hazy

Good weather to chill and look at a new city

The cinema museum was huge. Took us around three hours to get through it and we walked by a lot of the stuff. The museum had a lot of history on how visuals have been used in story telling from shadow art to first images to the first videos and movies to the modern cinema. I know there is something interesting in seeing the history of how cameras were invented, but there is a limit to how many different lenses a man can take. The real point of the museum was a cathedral like room which filled the dome of the building. The room had screens and info sheets spiralling around the walls. At the bottom there were chairs where you could lie down and watch some clips of movies relating to the current exhibition - which focused on movies based on comics, manga or graphic novels. After all the walking around it was great to just get to chill for a bit and watch the clips even though they were in Italian. From there we kept it a chill day and ended up eating at a nice restaurant called Nautilus which was near our Airbnb apartment. The restaurant was modelled after a submarine from the Jules Verne books. Was a cool place and pretty good food. That’s all for now. Until next time.
